Who cares? I never subscribed to the keeping up with the jones mentality.
If you don’t want to fly, don’t and accept you will be behind. You have to chose which is more important.
When did Warcraft become a race? There is no advantage in getting to a location before someone else. Worst case it means that you have to wait for whatever quest boss you were going to kill to respawn.
What is next restricting the amount of time a person can play each day as well? After all I can only manage two hours most days because of work. Someone who can play 3 or more hours has an unfair advantage and that needs to stop. I think there should be a time cap for the first month so no one gets too much further ahead than me.

though to be fair, I actually do agree with the op’s point in principle, though troll they may be. only locking static flying and not dynamic flying behind an arbitrary gate, even a mild one, makes no sense outside of continued pure spite.

The dragon riding advantage is smaller than 3 days early access.
While it is a time competition, it’s by no means fair. First, we have a new change to get a 3 day early access for $90. Does this favor dragonriders? TBC flyers? Who knows? Is it an attempt to balance someone taking some vacation days during launch week? Of course it isn’t.
Nobody is trying to stop, and I’d say they encourage, people to take time off work, school, or whatever to play at launch. So it can be as fast as 4 hours (for a pro leveller - do they really exist?) to free up their TBC flying mount. Probably 2-3 days for a bunch of competitive guildies levelling pretty fast together. Still seems to be within the TWW early access window.
Blizzard placed alternate transportation at the sites where you would be forced to dragonride now, and did so a couple places in the Emerald Dream. The places where a flight master is at a disadvantage during early levelling will shrink with accessibility options, and the fact that levelling nudges people to well defined hubs.
The predominant factor will not be whether you prefer dragonriding (which is a few minutes advantage), but whether you paid for early access, that determines how quickly you have your preferred flying unlocked.
I liked how we just paid 5000g for flying in Burcrade. In Writhking we got it at 76, and in Catcism there was no waiting.

I really don’t get this mentality. IDGAF how anyone else plays the game. It has ZERO effect on me if you race to max level, finish every quest, max out your ilvl or farm every node on the map.
If it’s anything like dragon flight, A lot of people will be 80 within 1 day of the servers being stable.
I mean that would be a good way for them to get me to cancel my preorder and stop playing this game. Dragonflight is awesome because i got dragon riding right away.

Wrong, when the game is built around flight. Spoiler, it is.
If you think you’re missing out on something, don’t fly but just because you like to hamper your play style doesn’t mean we should be forced to play like you.

If they’re making zones with dynamic flight in mind like they did DF then it being there day 1 makes sense

You’re like a year late on this.
No. It hardly made sense to begin with.
Left Behind what? This isn’t a race.
