I have given 10+ years playing my favorite game. It is has become 12+ months doing quests, dungeons and raids over and over again just harder levels. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Bring back flying for everyone so we can waste less time doing the same content over and over and over again. I used to spend hours flying and learning the maps. How does flying hurt the game?

Why did you sign your post?
Just common email practice I use.
You’ll be flying again with the next patch!
They want you to see the content up close and personal before you get to fly over it.
I know. But I havent played since level 60 and now it is quest based vs level based. I know I will get flying, because I want it. Just not enjoying the year later quest based approach. I dont think flying at highest level hurts the game.
It would be nice to get flying way earlier. Just after doing the quests and exploring would work for me lol.
Agreed and I understand their perspective. I just don’t enjoy it. You have to land to play the game.
Fair. I agree, to a point. I do wish sometimes that they’d find a way to go back to some WotLK zone design, where it was clearly made with flying in mind with miles of empty terrain to just look at below and feel like you’re in an actual World.
They should have never introduced flying. Spoiled the players.
I hear that there is a WoW Classic for people that like the old way of doing things. Check it out.
You should check it out for yourself. Classic is awesome and highly engaging. Waiting on TBC!
They should have never invented washing machines. Spoiled the people who wash clothes.
That’s true just like they will add in flying soon enough so it goes both ways. Still your twitch, it’s coming.
Yeah, how dare Blizzard wanted to throw something new into WoW so it won’t get stale. /s
Flying is too convenient. It trivializes the dangers of the world.
It should be: expansion release, hit max level, wait a month, buy flying.
I’d certainly play more and afk less if they did it this way.
Edit: forgot about hitting max lvl
Why everybody keep on saying “danger”? what’s so dangerous about the world exactly, even if you play it in PvP? it’s just a subjective thing. I mean… “Oh, this enemy has tons of health and can deal tons of damage or there’s tons of mobs all over the place, dangerous…?” Hard, sure. But Dangerous? 
I will say this, i think they should’ve done more innovation there then just flying. Like grabbing on to ledges or just simply climbing up certain climbable surfaces and ladders. I feel like something like that would give more creative ideas for world design and such rather then just flying. And maybe allow you to control your character in the air while falling because video game.
I agree. I think they should do away with ground mounts too. The world was meant to be explored on foot.
Yes, dangers as in dying. Dying wastes time, gold, and in pvp, can be embarrassing - even enraging. So flying trivializes all that danger that the player would have had to deal with. Danger makes one think twice about taking certain paths. Danger will make one stock up on speed or heath potions to ensure a safe trip.
As for the climbing idea, love it but doesnt really integrate well into WoWs terrain.
