That's not fun, that's not immersive, that's a pain in the ass. I love to explore and get out into the world and I'll fly somewhere long before I'll take one of their stupid flight points, because I want the option to mount or dismount at will if I see something that interests me.
I don't like being forced to the ground so that when I need to get somewhere, it takes me more than three times as long. And I say "more than," because yes, 100% is less than 1/3 of 310% (obviously) but there's also the issue of things I have to run around, small ledges I can't scale even with jumping (I hated this in FFXI and I will hate it in WoW), having to stop to fight things I didn't want to, inability to escape someone who wants to ruin my day by camping my corpse (and yes I enjoy world PvP but when I want to get somewhere I just want to fucking get there) and generally. if I take several times as long to get anywhere by all of the obstacles that are found on the ground, then I won't be able to log on in my limited time and accomplish anything.
If they want the game to stop being a lobby game, then they need to give people a reason to go out into the world. If they think I'm going to deal with all that bullshit just to go out into their world on a fucking ground mount, then they're out of their goddamn mind. None of that sounds even remotely amusing to me. Draenor is a big continent. I'm not planning to ride around at 100% from one end of the fucking expansion to the other. That will take me a goddamn century. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
