Nope, I don’t ever think about how lore wise it makes zero sense that you have to discover flight paths in order to use them

Gameplay mechanics =/= lore.

Yeah I probably did once. But it’s not lore. It’s gameplay.

also makes zero lore sense that most toons will emote in the Common language. We also don’t have different days of the week, and months appear to be named the same as IRL. And there’s a cheese called Alterac Swiss. Swiss. But there’s no Switzerland.

It makes zero sense lorewise that eating basic food heals the wounds from magic or physical weapons either, yet here we be.

although, I will say, eating a perfect steak can heal some wounds…temporarily 
amnd give you heaaryt desease.
there was a brief glimmering moment, way back in the day when ironically, a bug glitched the system so that every time you finished one zone the flight path into the next zone automatically unlocked, and you could fly straight there. It was the only bug to ever improve the game and they fixed it lol now thankfully you have the war band map that lets you unlock it all, but that map also screws you out of the experience points of discovering the new zone. So use it wisely.
You want to fly to London?
Well have you swam there? Sorry, I can’t help you until you swim there first.

Gryphon/Wyvern has been there before, yes? Can you not tell them where I need to go? How exactly are you telling them where I need to be? Have you ever lost a passenger before? If I jump off midflight, does it know to find me or does it keep going?
Hunter’s pets used to run underneath, using Eyes of the Beast could dismount you midflight just below where you were flying so you could get off at anytime. Blizz fixed this early in Vanilla.
There is, it’s on the little cheese planetoid that that orbits Azeroth called the Moon.
It’s also where Elune lives.
Fun Fact: Elune is a mouse 
Squeek!

And Alterac is really just an anagram of ‘act real.’ it’s a place holder for something…realer

That explains everything! (it doesn’t)
Why is it against lore to use a Taxi service? People are over reaching.
It’s against the lore that we have to discover orgrimmar flight path by going there via walking in order to fly there from say thunder bluff. They’re both capitol cities of the horde. How does the flight master even know what flight paths I’ve “discovered”
Because they are using your map not theirs. It would make the game too easy otherwise.
The only gripe I have is they are too slow.
