You could fly in all Cata zones. As for MoP I have no clue what the reasoning was. But I'm sure it was compelling!

Maybe it's just me but when I'm in a hurry to get to point A, whatever my reasons, I don't appreciate the landscape no matter what means of transport I use. Doesn't matter if I'm flying or riding on the ground or running (before level 20) or using the flightpaths. I want to get to my destination and everything else is being ignored. Or killed if necessary. But when I just idle around, chatting with my guild, then I often appreciate the beauty of a zone or a city or whatever. And then again it doesn't matter what means of transport I'm using. So for me a good portion of their argument goes out of the window.

Of course, I may be just special in this regard.


Edit: Missed a word and still was too slow.

Of all the dumbass flight path mounts they could have given us, they gave us freakin' kites, man. What the hell? I'm okay with magic carpets, broomsticks and even that nonsensical rocket that can hover mid-air without any kind of VTOL capabilities, but KITES?! Oh, yeah, it looks like a real kite, but someone stuck a rice lamp at the bottom of it, and now you can fly it like an airplane. Makes sense, right?

It's like they're not even trying, anymore. Just put giant cannons at each flight point and have the cannon blast you in whatever direction you wish to travel.

They are, Goblins are short and the swamp is deep.

They didn't really give an excuse for MoP. You just... bought it. The ability was called "Wisdom of the Four Winds".

In Cata, you could fly in the new areas at launch, as long as you bought the Azeroth flight license available at level 60. Bashiok recently wrote this:

Edit: And Maz, that kite flight path mount is available as an actual mount for players, too.

Most definitely.

Much easier for 25 man guilds to trim some fat than it is for 10 mans to recruit.

That isn't even diving into the fact that 25 man guilds are like finding a leprechaun riding a unicorn. The erosion of 25 man raiding in this expac is ridiculous. It would have been the equivalent to bringing 40 man raiding back in WotLK.
