No flying in 5.0: Would it be better?

[Mhaeric]

The automated flight paths is from point A to B. Which you just need to pay a fee to an NPC.
When you unlock flying you can fly wherever and how you want, at a much greater speed then in XIV (in WoW you have up to +330% fly speed)

I simply used WoW flight paths as an example of the relative height level of flight that they followed for reference to how a vertical height limitation can still keep a player immersed in the environment as opposed to flying so high above it everything is ants. I have no frame of reference for how full flight behaved in that game. Don't read more into my previous statement than is there.
