No flying in 5.0: Would it be better?

[Tempest222]

I honestly prefer the smaller maps from ARR. The HW and SB areas are just so unnecessarily large and barren, making the initial questing prior to unlocking flight in each zone really tedious. Then, once flight is unlocked it honestly feels about the same as walking through the smaller ARR maps as far as speed of traversing the area goes. So for me all flying does is act as a way to artificially increase questing time since you have to travel on foot at a snails pace for a while before unlocking it.

I don’t dislike flying though, but having to traipse across enormous maps slowly on foot before unlocking it just felt like a time waster to me.
