What is one aspect of MMO design past or present that wish was added or taken away.

While this isn't how I personally feel, I believe the idea is that by being able to completely skip terrain via a mount, you make the actual design and layouts of the zones less important.

We have already explored it all on the ground via MSQ, remember?

Its artificially gating time and gameplay by delaying or lengthening travel time to an insane degree. All it does is making anything you want to do take a hell of a lot longer. Tedium isnt gameplay. And its an instant turnoff. Any game that doesnt or wont respect a players time tends to lose players.

i dont want to have to spend an hour ingame to do something that takes me fifteen minutes. .

Try a hunt that starts in say Lakeland and ends in the Tempest. No flight = no hunts

All it will do is make everything take a hell of a lot longer which is the WOW concept that has utterly FAILED.
