It's a compelling narrative for the cynical among us, but it's simply not true. We gain nothing by trying to be intentionally deceptive in the way we design and release content. I wish more people could understand that, even when they disagree with some of our design decisions.

This was the most recent comment made on the subject of adding flying to Draenor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHtglUq5_0g.

think of it like the Belf and goat zones. you can fly in BC but sot these areas because the building don't have finished tops. in WoD all the building are finished and the feather shoots you up max height before starting the fall. its not exactly flying but it shows that everything is finished. also its not like the land is coded in a different way from the rest of the game that would make flying difficult.

They said "the next patch" as you can see in the youtube link in the post above yours. the reason for the "x" is they did not know what the next patch would be called because they have internal builds before the PTR.

I imagine its not so much unlocking flight for that character as much as it is coding it to unlock for all of your 90+ characters on your account and making sure that aspect works correctly that's cause them to delay it to a patch after 6.2 rather than in it.

Did you seriously just say that? First off - up until after the release of Warlords you told us there will be flying. You then later decided there won't be. What you're saying right now is that all of this time promising flying in 6.1 was a straight up lie. You said there will be flying in 6.1. Even before deciding against it, you still promised us flying. Now you're saying you guys didn't even plan on there being flying, so the world isn't properly designed for it?

Flying has been around since Burning Crusade. It's a huge part of this game. Suddenly you decide to rip it from the players and pretty much lie to our faces.

Sorry, but I actually don't believe that it wasn't part of a timeline for this expansion. There was a lot of misinformation and misdirection. A lot of shady things (flying mounts on the CE box cover?) that helped to maximize expansion sales before dropping the bomb on players.
