Honest question, but why is flying right now in this current time frame of the game bad for the game?

You have a very interesting definition of grinding. What if you get 10,000 rep from doing a few quests? Is it still grinding? What if you have no desire at all to get exalted and you just passively get it from playing the game. Is it still grinding?

Clearly not? I guess it comes down to what you consider to be "playing the game". Am I going to get the rep by picking herbs and selling them on the AH? Am I going to get it by doing a couple of M+ or by doing some old raid for a mount that I want? Then I'd be fine with it. But it's world quests, which have no other practical reward attached to them in BFA, unless you count the terribly low gold or war resources or the even worse AP. You have to do them a set number of times to get flying, and I didn't enjoy doing them repeatedly. So no, for me I wouldn't be getting the reputation to exalted just from playing the game. I'd have to go out of my way to do things I don't have fun doing to get them to exalted.
