So many people claim no one uses normal flying in Dragonflight - well I do! And I know plenty of people that do. Dragonflying is amazing for longer journeys, its super fast. But for short hops I like the old flying.
Mostly people in the forums hate Dragonriding because it’s “not the correct way to play.” Only valid complaints are people with actual conditions.
Most people in-game like Dragonriding.
Source: I made it up and I don’t care about other arguments.
They say “dynamic flying” (aka dragon riding) will be available day one.
The OP is asking for "normal flying’ (old style flying) to be allowed day one. I cannot see anything you link that says players can fly normal mounts on day one,
I personally will never buy another expansion unless they allow regular flying on day one.
Ion confirmed in the Deep Dive at BlizzCon that “static” flying will also be available right away, with the caveat that you have to complete the MSQ first. No rep or exploring will be required, though.
