I’m not excited for flying. Okay, sure. It makes things easier and less time consuming, but I see that as a priority mostly for the people who put enormous amounts of time into the game and of those, the ones who focus solely on the endgame.
It also seems like it would contribute to the feeling of an emptier world. I imagine you’re going to see fewer people on the ground.
100% agree. they should remove flying. Even the original creators said that was a mistake

Let’s wait until we get closer to TBC before starting this fight.

Flying is a mistake but removing flight in TBC is a problematic and unique situation due to some unfortunate losses if you cant fly in TBC map because of all the wild Z axis places to duel such as in Nagrand. Those would be a big sad.
IMO the easy way to fix it, and this is not the first time I promoted this fix to flying in TBC.
- Flying costs remain the same.
- Flying is now has a maximum duration for example 15 mins until your flying mount is exhausted and needs a rest.
- Flying has a Cooldown that starts AFTER you dismount regardless of flight duration; this should be 30mins minimum. Ideally Flight CD is 60mins.
This allows all the areas of the TBC map to remain unchanged, yet also makes ground mounts actually useful again outside of Battlegrounds / The Old World.
This also makes epic flying mounts even more valuable.

Flying is a blessing and mandatory. They should give it to us at 60 and in the old world
A much simpler solution would just add portals or flight paths to get up to the couple areas that require flight. But then you also have the issue of 2 daily quest hubs being centered around flying, and an entire zone (blades edge) that is absolute aids to traverse without flying.
As much as I hate flying, it’s too intertwined with the design of TBC to remove. It would take major reworks to make it palatable, and there is a 0% chance blizzard will do that.
The world PvP issue could be mitigated though by adding a BoE engineering item to blast people out of the sky (with parachute/slow fall/or fall damage mitigation) with a huge range.
/shrug WPvP just not being very popular is what guts wpvp.
I see this as looking for a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist
They could just give us pre-nerf Sheep, and allow me to sheep people off their mounts again. This was good times man, really good times.
Age old conversation, it’s dead, but keep beating that horse.
