Exactly.
Generally I don't mind Suramar all that much, however this no flying thing is really nothing more than an excuse to make content try and drag out as long as it can. Call it what ever you want, but at the end of the day I don't find any of this any more or less enjoyable because of no flying. If the content is good, it's good, regardless of flying.
I look at something like World Quests, and while it hasn't bothered me to do them without flying, it has added zero to the game play. I skip everything I want to skip either way ( shadowmeld ftw), flying just means I will use less kites, flyers and slow falls. Woohoo losing a bunch there.
