Enjoyment of something is completely subjective, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the beholder is a one eyed beast. I didn't call you deluded for enjoying something, I called you deluded for contributing one thing you don't like to the majority of sublosses. The online world has changed since 2004, wow use to be one of 5 MMO's, now there are several dozen MMO's with more every year. The majority of Console games are now online and there are hundreds upon hundreds of console games that can be played online.
Some people also don't deal with change in their environment well either, which comes from caveman times when an environmental change could cause your death. For every person who says they liked the old to the new there is a person who likes the new to the old. Your disatisfaction with wow is not proof of anything but your disatisfaction.

If you don't want to fly then don't. I like it just fine the way it is. There are at least 3 zones in MoP where you can't fly at all and ground mounts become useful again not to mention the entire questing experience requires use of ground mounts. For every person trying to nix flying there is someone demanding flying through the questing zone once you have 1 character to 90 because they don't care for the ground mount portion of the game like you do.
