Curious. How did flying "ruin" WoW?

from what i learned instead of being dangerous areas that would have people cautious or go around them people could just fly over them eliminating a lot of danger zones.

I still don't see how this "ruined" WoW given there was about the same level of danger to players in WoW as there is in XIV.
I always remember mobs in WoW being an annoyance to be avoided, not a danger.

to the loudest voices there (aka the raiders and hardcore wow players) that 'ruined' it for them and since most people paid attention to it then hey spread it around that the game was ruined by flying mounts, that idea got so popular that in the recent expansion they restricted flying movement just to get the opposite backlash from there loudmouth community but it didn't spread as much as the freely flying

its the same as when they brought out death night they said starting as lvl 55 would ruin the game and for a while thats all people thought.



using the same logic with ffxiv, when BcoB got a nerf people acted as it was the end of the game, when SCoB and FCoB got there echo/nerfs people acted like it was the end of the game, basically people think every small change will 'ruin' ffxiv like flying mounts 'ruined' wow
