Literally you:
Implies that those expansions being good has something to do with flying. Which is absolutely, fucking, bullshit.TBC, Wrath and MoP had flying from the start, they are amazing expansions, Legion is the only expansion that is good that didn't have it from the start
Bring up that Cataclysm had flying from the start and suddenly the implication isn't there? And that Legion being good without flying from the start is something that should just be handwaved? Funny that, isn't it?
Almost as if an expansion being good or bad is nothing to do with flying, so stop bringing this shit argument up maybe?
You want to swim through the air, ignoring all physics just so that you are able to go afk or alt tab while travelling. Use a flight path and stop whining about them removing no-clip movement.

Speciation Is Gradual
Honestly I see flight opening as time to level alts so it stays relevant for a decent amount of time for me.

The thing is, TBC flying worked different. Flying was used at max level to access three sub zones all of which were designed with it in mind. You need an epic mount to dodge all the canon fire in Blade's Edge Mountain, Kaliri Owls seemed able to aggro you from a crazy distance up in Skettis and dismounted everyone with ease and any number of elite flyers could give you a merry chase over Netherstorm. Fly over an enemy faction base and soon you'd be shot down or driven off by patrols.
The problem is that Blizzard then kept flying but stopped actually accounting for it in zone design.

OF course there is no problem for you when it is handed to you for no effort. And there was something majorly wrong with that in allowing players to skip over content day 1. The only ones who think there was nothing wrong were the lazy and entitled. God forbid you actually have to play the game and not be allowed to skip 98% of it.

This wasn't even remotely the case. All people did was get up in the air as high as they could and NONE of that would bother you. That is the reason they never did it in future expansions.That was easily avoidable.
Oh look, this again. How original.
? You needed to fly in the trees to achieve any of the daily objectives in Skettis. Otherwise you might as well approach on ground; the point was to dodge the owls and land on the tree platforms so you did not have to go through all those mobs. Same with Blade's Edge, you did eventually have to land in the demon controlled areas. In Netherstorm it was easier to avoid the elite patrols; there they were more like the Fel Reaver; things to keep in mind and get away from. And ofc you would fly high over enemy bases but that meant it was harder to just fly down and kill their quest NPCs.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.

There is no choice if you think about it. Allowing it means no more ground mounts. You gimp yourself if you do and no one except few rpers do it for fun. But hopping from quest to delivery etc is just to common to ignore that.
The only good solution is to activate flying( to experience it they want you to experience it) when ever you finnished the main campaign or what ever. But I assume df will be different.
I'm in the make flight risky camp by putting in hazards to keep players from helicopter questing so easily and then slowly making certain areas safer as time goes on. Have spots in areas dangerous at all flight levels to discourage AFK flying across the map. That is what flight masters are for.
