The World of Warcraft team has stepped into a thread about players using their new-found ability to fly in the Broken Isles to complete Kirin Tor World Quests. Prior to flight, Kirin Tor quests required precise timing, directed jumps or the ability to stay inside a floating bubble across long distances. Since flying arrived, however, players have been using airborne mounts to complete the quests without any extra effort required.

How long it will last remains to be seen.
