Mhm... truth be told, I doubt that's all there is for a request, because that is easily solved: Fill an island of Azys Lla or the Sea of Clouds with level 100 mobs that shoot you off your flying mount and you're done.

Would anyone be happy with that? Hell no. The first thing people would complain about would be that people can just freely avoid going there in the first place, because it's isolated and has no exclusive rewards tied to it. Next, people would ask for the zone to please be mandatory for something, be it MSQ, relic, or just some glamour/mount, to make people go there even though they don't want to, because if it was truly optional, it would be dead.

It's like the difficulty discussion - First people ask for higher difficulty to be more engaged and have more fun since everything is so easy for them they get bored, then they turn around and demand to be compensated for having more fun and not being bored with better rewards.
