only to quickly realize

I wish flying was taken out of the game entirely. There are a LOT of people who are happy that we will be grounded, even if for a little while. Like most things, the people who are upset are the loudest and most active. Don't confuse that with "everyone" hating the flying change,po world of Warcraft because that's certainly not the case.

There's also some amount of, "you don't really know what's best for you", which I agree with here. How about trying not flying and see how it goes first.

For example, anyone who played in vanilla ever manage to jump to an interesting spot, only to quickly realize, "well, this isn't so impressive since I could have just flown up here and dismounted..."?
