What a bunch of horseshit.
I quested 85-90 with no flying like everyone else. I didn't interact with anyone, it wasn't immersive, I wasn't absorbed by the "design" of all the stupid hills and shit I was running around. I banged out my levels as fast as humanly possible so I could fly again, period.
"I hate flying mounts, but I can't help using them if they exist, so please take them away from everyone!"
God this forum is just a dumping ground for hardcore bullshit that no one posts on bnet anymore because they know they'll just wake up the next day buried in downvotes and 26 pages of being called an asshole.
