“ The introduction of flying mounts in the game would render the challenges relatively trivial.
There is a few scaling expertise in the game. There were times where my guild was
pissed off after being shut out on a development boss and we took our
anger out by invading and holding down the public sale house in Orgrimmar (I imagine our current report is 34
minutes, 15 seconds with a full 40 man raid group earlier than we all eventually succumbed).
The idea behind guild challenges is that the group fly
out to research an area solely to seek out out that your group has waltzed
into an ambush. It's arduous to solo and full even with
a small group of mates particularly on an avid
PvP server. I remember one incident where a Blizzard blue had to step in and
"discourage" individuals from participating
because of the destabilizing effect it could have on a server. ”
