As many of you know, you aren't allowed to fly in Draenor until 6.1. Do you like this change, dislike it? Let me know in the comments below!

Should be a third option of 'Don't care either way'.

True, I forgot that. I'll poke the mods for it.

Whilst, I am not totally in agreement with it being a blanket ban until the next patch hits compared to the previous model of making players wait until they have reached level cap for the expansion, I think that this is a good thing.
In all the previous expansions where flight has been restricted in some way it in no way hampered me from levelling my character and made flying, once available, even more exciting as you then got to see the zones in a whole new light. It will actually be nice to complete all of the zones in this expac on the ground as opposed to BC, Wrath and MOP, where you inevitably finished off the content on a flying mount.

probally would go for that 3rd not added option yet or, don't really care.
flying is handy, but as long we dont have too use ground mounts the entire expansion. i'm fine with flying not being in at the start of the expansion.

I'm all for delayed flight, but not when the delay is too long. I actually hate that I can't fly in the thunder isle, or timeless isle which is why I've barely spent any time in them.
I'm ok with them not making flight available until max level. I'm ok with them unlocking flight via a complicated, and extended quest-chain that may or may not involve some form of grind, rather than pay gold (mostly because I love quests) but I am NOT ok with having to wait what is likely to be months after I'm at the cap before I can fly.
Its just not right with me. I'm all for watching the scenery from the ground as I level up. The feeling of helplessness when I'm surrounded by a sea of mobs, rather than take off to the sky and go "so long SUCKERS", but such things are only ok in my book when LEVELING. When I'm at max level I want to fly.
That's just how I like my game.
=/ So no, I don't really like this change.

I'll wait to vote until you have the 3rd option - Don't care either way.

Added. Sorry, busy day, just now had a chance to go through the report queue.
I voted for the new option. I don't care either way. I'd prefer flying I think but I understand the reasoning and will deal with it accordingly.(##RESPBREAK##)2060##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

I went for the third; I admit I like to fly, but I'm not stuck up on it.

I would prefer to be able to fly once I'm 100. I think many people will just run heroic dungeons to gear up once they ding max level, and quest/explore less.
There are ways to counter that "mount up and fly in for a single targetted kill" method. Units that shoot you down, dismount you, or an automatic dismount like in the "Save captured Shadopan from Kunchongs" daily, but with a tighter timer. Events that keep you in combat or have non-skippable waves. Caves.

Waiting to 100 is fine. After that you are wasting my time. Poor idea imo. 6.1 better hit within a short time or they may have problems.

I like flying, but I'll accept what's happening with it in WoD.
I do think that putting a questline to unlock it once 6.1 happens is a little bit unnecessary.

I voted No, but it's a qualified no.
I don't mind having to explore an area once or twice on the ground, but never being able to fly there is one reason I haven't returned to Isle of Thunder on my main since reaching Exalted and have never done much beyond the opening quests on my alts. After a few times around the island, it just started to grate having to dodge *this* pack of mobs, and *that* patrol, and remember the quest spawn guy that pops up *here* some days that one-shots you without the bonus... It's just more than I can stomach.
Contrast this with the Tillers that I have maxed rep with on 5 toons and still do the occasional daily for.

I voted no as I have a few qualms about it as I play on a PvP server. Thankfully the starting zones are separated otherwise it would be like Hyjal for new players but worst as they can't fly away from gankers. But it is also reverse, the gankers can't fly away when people get on their geared mains; as we all know, only scrubs gank.
