If you want flight content that lasts as long as ground content, well you just blow up the world size by 300% right? And you put most everything indoors. And you build everything else on cliffs and mountains and terraces and structures.
It quickly becomes NOT Warcraft right? It's this weird thing that looks nothing like what people imagine as Warcraft.
And what if they want questing and exploration and world PvP to be RIGHT THERE with the other core pillars of WoW like raiding, dungeons, battlegrounds and arenas?
What if they want those things to be challenging and rewarding and meaningful but they don't want to turn the game into some weird flying fantasy NOT Warcraft thing.
I say again, you guys know deep down you're on the wrong side of this argument. If it doesn't work, all the other no-flying people will join you and Blizzard will change it back, but that requires you to actually try it.
What if it does work though? What if WoD feels like a better, more complete, more engaging, more Warcraft-y experience?
Then the game is better and everyone wins. We can't know until we try and at this point, no one has tried the whole picture.
