I didn’t know you couldn’t contextualize and just decided to pass a snide remark instead of actually contributing to the discussion but I’ll spell it out for you:
There won’t be any flying at 9.0 and you will have to path find your way to it.
So, based on your comment who cares nothing new. Too bad you don’t have anything useful to add to this topic.
This all levels of ironic, thank God your sort doesn’t represent the most miniscule fraction of this games population.
Door is that way →
Good hit it!
Either way, you should enjoy the fact that people can complain about what they don’t think is fun on the forums.
without flying, as a warrior, I can’t drop in from above someone when they aren’t expecting it and initiate some pvp
also, of course its not necessary, wow is not necessary, so necessity is irrelevant, this game fills a desire, not a need

Yes I enjoy it a lot, it’s amusing how close the majority of the people who want flying on release day behave like 5 year old throwing a tantrum in the middle of the mall

Kinda like the majority of anti flight people.

There you go 
no one needs it they just want it… So if they have to wait to get it nothing is lost.
I totally agree, that’s why I love watching from the fence because if I have it it’s great and if I don’t it’s great to. It’s just irrelevant to me.
Once I have it I will fly from the AH to the mailbox 
That’s the same thing I remember hearing about character transfers, faction transfers, having characters from both factions on the same PvP server, cross-faction communication, and bringing back Classic WoW to name a few.
With flight, I play the game far more than when I don’t have flight. I took my first long break from the game this year (seven months) after fourteen years of play and one reason involved was how flight has been handled. That’s an objective I would think Blizzard would be interested in — keeping my subscription.

just because you don’t need it, doesnt mean you aren’t losing something by not having it
thats just bad logic
I don’t NEED this computer im using right now, but if I didn’t have it id be losing out on quite a bit, like reading news stories, being able to do some work at home, watching Netflix/prime, having lovely discussions about wow, none of those are things I NEED, but they are things that add to my life in some way or another
Good I guess, but it is relevant to some people. I don’t care if you fly or not.
Many aspects of the game are irrelevant to people.
I would think they want to keep your subscription yes.
But you still didn’t mention what you aren’t able to achieve in game without flying and it’s because such thing doesn’t exist.
You did what an adult does, you didn’t like something you stopped paying for it kudos to you. Now you are back paying again and nothing has changed I’m sure blizz has statics of how much this happens and base their decisions on that. 
Preach has so many great ideas for the game. He also gives actual well thought out reasons for anything he suggests.
One thing I remember from that video that is not mentioned in the OP is that he specufically said flying was good if it’s properly implimented like in Wrath.
Expansions other than Wrath were not designed for flight. That’s why it’s a reward.

Yes it’s relevant in the context of the game the same way we all rather drive a Ferrari than a Toyota.
But we all still drive to work everyday.
I don’t drive to work… I work at home which is relevant to me!
What you achieve with flight is player agency. The game’s design has removed a great deal of player agency with a more and more tightly controlled player experience. Player agency is one reason many players wanted a return of Classic WoW. There’s actually far fewer hard-gates on the player experience in Classic WoW compared to the retail experience. I worry that Blizzard’s turn to so tightly control the player experience has driven many players away.
As for statistics on what Blizzard tracks, they also capture feedback from a number of sources including the forums. Which you cannot give unless you have a subscription to the game. They base their decisions on more than just straight-up subscriptions or we’d have never seen things like character transfers come into being.

Damn I want work from home everyday and if don’t get to I’m gonna go to your HR department and complain everyday with a weak argument until I get it…Im sure years later they’ll give in 
It worked for me letting my manager know I wanted to work from home full time.
In fact, several complaints for me have worked at work. I got a raise because I complained about my salary.
So basically still just a want right? Because you can raid M+, farm materials, quest, level alts, battle pets all without flying.
Therefore if you have to wait a couple of patches it’s not gonna kill you.
I’m surprised you can talk about less hard gets in classic and flight in the same sentence… Flying is a hard get apparently but classic is apparently amazing because you can’t fly.
Really?
