Did the cannons in Ogri-la make WoW a flight sim? Did the kaliri birds? Did Netherwing races?
See, this is EXACTLY what I was talking about. You're so stuck on the idea that flight is bad that you can't even break out of it. You have to twist everything instead of actually comprehending what's being said.
What people hate on the ground is NEEDLESS dazing and dismounting EVERYWHERE. What I'm talking about are very specific, judiciously used mechanics similar to what is praised in Suramar. Do you not actually read what I'm writing?
Again, take off your Flight-Hater goggles and actually comprehend what I'm typing. Do you not understand the correlation between the mechanics of patrolling anti-illusion NPCs, and the suggestion of patrolling anti-flight NPCs? Does this just not get through to you at all?

That has absolutely nothing to do with the mechanics of flight, or in any way supports the idea that WoW is a flight sim. What is your point, exactly?

Adding simple, arcade-like movement controls to flying is what they are probably referring to. But apparently that's far FAR too complex for the wow engine to handle, much less the players. Despite the fact that we already do something VERY similar with a glider+emerald winds. And I don't see anyone up in arms about how that's ruining the game.
