It's not that I don't like flying in and of itself. Getting to one's destination faster is nice (and often necessary), especially for things like Hunts and whatnot. However, I feel that overall the game would foster a richer, more immersive experience were the option not available, period. If the option's there and you don't take it, you're not being efficient (which can be very important to one's enjoyment), but if it's not there at all, you're not missing out on anything.

I am, honestly, against most forms of fast travel (including the over abundance of Aetheryte's for teleporting—I would much prefer a system more like FFXI's with a few central teleports and nothing more), and also against "queue anywhere" systems (like FFXIV's Duty Finder or WoW's Dungeon Finder) for similar reasons, as they make the best ways to play not involve actually really ever being in the world.
