That’s not the type of game this is. Try again.
Yeah it is until a new patch comes out .
Once you complete the content at least once it then becomes a rinse and repeat game until the next patch so if a person has completed most everything in a patch at least once then flying after that point does not negate anything other then the opinions of those that are anti flying.
No, that’s not the type of game this is. This whole game is based around repeating things. So doing something once means nothing.
Nope Classic has not proven that at all.
I didn’t bother reading the rest as you made an assumption and coined it as fact

Only a small fraction of Retail players don’t want flying.

Exactly imagine if cod just gave you a god mode invincible perk because you have been playing for a long time
“Well I’ve already done everything why keep playing unless I can skip it”
The journey is the fun🤦♀️
You’re adorable 
No it hasn’t.
No, it shouldn’t.
It’s garbage, but you’re welcome.

2/10 you’ll get some bites.
It’s not like flying was a feature of Any xpac. Oh wait…
The devs have said multiple times flying was the biggest mistake they have ever made
Simply because they want to be lazy in thier design. WoD showed everyone that.

Eh it wasn’t small portions back then.
You had to control zones to get bonuses or even get gear you wanted.
That doesn’t mean they are correct, and whilst it might be a mistake in term of production it was added, and you cant just take something away like that without a backlash as they saw.
So now instead of making the game around an existing system they cant remove due to the sub loss they knuckled down and said fine you can have it but you are going to jump thru hoops… A little like a spoilt brat, then come up with some #$%^$%^& excuse and a “compromise”.
If I was a betting man I imagine they are just keeping it to whittle down resistance so when they try later to remove it the backlash is not as harsh, and they can save the time and money on development for ground only.
Stupid part is they are/did do it all wrong.
1, Implement map travel
2, Flight masters whistle and shorten the cool down
3, Stop making zones like mazes!
4, Remove 50% of the trash
5, Reward players with mounts they have for flying with something, you cant just take something away there needs to be a trade-off, you know like a real compromise.
Don’t get me wrong I love flying and in no way endorse its removal and will fight till the end BUT with those simple things maybe they could have gotten it done rather than the issue THEY CAUSED that we have now, it had zero thought go into the decision or implementation rather than a rough guess as to how many we loose against costs.

Flying itself needs to be balanced. If it overrides literally every other mobility mechanic, it’s OP.
Flying overides movement on the ground…
What other mechanic? that not movement on the ground are you referring to?
I mount I fly, I don’t have to run along the ground and be stunned by the 1000 unnecessary mobs they place there while I search for the tiny hole in the ground or path up, plus it makes dailies bearable…

It’s not an exciting system
You literally fly up and straight
That’s it
The only reason you want it is so you can skip it and mindlessly play WoW
if they did that Watchers precious ego would be completely crushed when the truth came out people on pro flight servers would be more than current forms
instead of creating new servers Blizzard could simply integrate existing systems to accommodate all player types
CRZ and sharding with a bit of WM
- Flight for gold with WM
- Flight thru pathfinder/WM
- Flight no WM
- No flight WM
there everyone can choose their own by talking to a specific NPC in their respective capital

Well might as well remove the dungeon and raids that require flying to access as well.
Quote please?
