Dragonriding is destroying exploration

"I'm flying through zones in a matter of seconds"

This is what the majority of the community wanted, so it's what we all got.

At least it's a gameplay feature that requires some involvement as opposed to pressing your wyvern key and holding down spacebar until you can't be touched by anything.

For what it's worth I think it's fine. Blizzard cannot, or doesn't want to make fighting random mobs fun or exciting so letting us skip them is the next best thing.

I disagree with that last part. I actually thing the random npcs you fight in Dragonflight are the best they've been. There are a lot of dull ones mainly the mindless grunts, but there are also some really great encounters where enemies have basic boss mechanics that you have to dodge or interrupt. They've struck a really nice balance.

You problem with exploration that you jump... don't jump and you can go explore

People like OP are why we had to wait a year to fly every expansion since WoD

If you don't like flying you can walk - stop forcing your will on other players
