Yeah, it doesn’t. It just makes it so I don’t have to run into packs of useless trash and can do my WQ’s without being dazed and dismounted every 5 minutes by something I can two-shot. I’m exalted with every BfA faction so I don’t care.
I’ll stick to leveling alts in zones where I can fly until it’s unlocked whenever they feel ‘generous’ enough to release it, but thank you.
