The same things were said in the other WoD thread when WoD wasn't even out 1 month. Legion has not even hit the 30 day mark yet. In fact the usual suspects that are posting now were missing when the no flying forever bomb was dropped and Blizzard did a back flip to reverse that decisions.
The biggest irony is anti flyers were pushing that Tera and FF did not have flying in that WoD flying thread...fast forward to the current era...and both games have flying mounts now. Oops?
This is why others in the MMO industry are capitalizing on Blizzard's massive miscalculation. Lets assume that flying is just a "flight simulator"...if that is the case and you can add it to the game for a small cost of development why not do it? If it prolongs and adds longevity and replay value to a MMO why not do it?

I stopped playing WoW all together, because seeing the difference between a world with flying and making the zones as one continuous zone and ground and pound making zone seem disconnected is a night and day difference.
I don't see the value of playing WoW at all even if flight is available in older zones. This is why the argument to gate off flying till the expansion is almost over with that many anti flyers were pushing in the WoD flying thread shows how cumbersome that argument is. It means players like me would not even play the game if that is the end goal, so making players make that choice seems like a form of collective punishments because they don't conform to Blizzard's rate maze corporate formula.
At the same time, I save money, because I am not going to be led by the nose because Blizzard can't decide what do with flying despite insisting that they have a plan.
