Hint: this is why they are trying to make it look like it's somehow bad for the GAME. "We made a mistake". Really? How? This is when you see world PvP coming up (pretty much the ONLY real game related reason why flying is "bad"), but really, it is a weak argument seeing how world pvp was destroyed with arenas and bgs. What you see in BfA is not natural pvp. IE the one you saw in vanilla, or to some extent in classic. If there were no bonus/achievement etc, most players would just disable it.
