Why isn't flying in 8.1?

Because we aren’t allowed to have fun.

Since when do giant companies listen or care what their consumers think or have to say?

Something about hindsight. Had the devs in the past foresaw problem with flying, they would have not included them with BC expansion 12 years ago and we’d be limited to ground mount, relying on portals and flight paths to get somewhere quickly.

What problems? I know you think flying killed wpvp blah blah blah, but it didn’t. The queue system, and crz did, faction changes, server transfers, all those things killed world pvp. I saw it happen, my old pvp server died a slow painful death. Also there was loads of wpvp in BC and they had flying it made it easier not harder.
They designed whole zones in fact a whole expansion where you needed to fly to be able to complete it.
Which we did. They gave us beautiful beautiful Mop with so many things to do that again we needed to fly.
Anyway, it’s no use you no fliers win again.
