I'm lucky, I guess, because I know what's going on and don't really care all that much personally about the event but this has to be a pretty bad look for those who aren't in the know and/or are truly new to the game. Sure the zerg fest will likely subside in a couple of weeks but that's still a crappy message for new players. "Hey, you might be excited for this event but sit there and be quiet while the big boys get to play."

I'm not saying players shouldn't fly or ride mounts or should abstain from using BLU, just try to be considerate if you can.
Being considerate is one thing and thats fine to ask. But more and more people are becoming belligerent about BLU even existing. See the other thread which is literally "Dont allow limited classes to do event." Which is exactly what I pointed out was the end result of all this foolishness. And yeah, youre spot on. Having a flight mount gives you a hard advantage over people who dont have one, or having AoE abilities. But lets not worry about that and keep saying BLU is the problem.
