There’s a difference between being dazed from running through a group of mobs and dismounted, and getting slowed down for reason by the big worms in the sky.
Not really. It’s to make you pay attention to what you are doing. I mean if they really wanted to be mean they could’ve had the worm also dismount players. Imagine the tears then.
Those worms have 0 impact on you. What actually makes flying awful are the minions below that cast mindflay.
Why complain about something that should only matter if you are AFK flying across the zone? I mean are you just blind and not notice the giant flying snake thing in the sky or do you think you should continue to fly around it while it stacks the debuff upon you?
It is there as a Darwin experiment, just to see exactly how stupid the player base is.
Did this very thing once. Came back to find myself pancaked on the ground. Bad day.
That being said has anyone fought and killed one yet?
Stop flying so high. Fly closer to the ground as if you were in an airplane trying to evade enemy fire.
Also to anti-flyers reading this. The type of people complaining about getting hit by the worm are the population of people that you think (and do) afk fly to their destination. Competent people like me actually micromanage our flying. Think of it like playing in vashj’ir. It’s just a 3rd dimension of gameplay.

So you don’t AFK on a flying mount. Like, duh !
Sadly no one has killed one yet. Maybe it drops 3 silver and 2 cooper, or maybe a mount, who knows.
Maybe all these overgeared players will do something with that power.

Explain to me why this is a problem again?
I think I’ve gotten Zapped by it like four times the entire time I’ve played invasions. It’s a complete non-issue.

Because anything that allows you to take your hands off the keyboard means you aren’t playing the game. Flight paths are the worst offenders of this. And afk flying (even ground mounts that have a straight line) are step below that.
They would make sense if they were in specific locations to keep you from flying too much in specific circumstances, but that isn’t the case.
They are just random and pointless.
because blizz hates flying. simple as that.

Correction: Blizzard hates you completing things quicker.
To pay homage to me in my Speedo. 
same thing from their pov.
Oh give me a break. Slightly moving my mouse is barely more engaging than auto walking. Why are you so concerned with how other people play their games?
That is why I love net-o-matic… don’t get that coffee too low on war mode

It’s all good and avoidable, until it pops up around you while you are fighting the assault boss and get 10 stacks of it for standing on a platform in the air… for real tho.
There should be something that prevents the debuff from hitting or stacking while you are on a floor surface of some kind.
Ps. You can also get stacks standing on some of the terraces around Uldum if the worms decide to cruise by.
One of many reasons I avoid the assault areas after doing my required quests to stay caught up in the cloak and now corruption currency.
The worst thing is when one phases in right on top of you. There’s no avoiding that.
