In the 10.2.5 PTR patch notes, players will be able to Dragonride throughout Azeroth. However, outside Dragon Isles, Dragonriding's max speed will be limited to 80% of its maximum in order not to trivialize traveling.
Dragonriding is now available throughout Azeroth wherever flying is available. Outside of the Dragon Isles, Dragonriding mounts move at 80% of their maximum speeds.
Developers’ note: We are restricting the speed of dragonriding outside of the Dragon Isles in order to not make travel times on old world contents trivially short. We believe 80% dragonriding speed will strike a balance between giving players exciting and engaging traversal, while still preserving a sense of immersion. The Dragon Isles continent is pretty massive compared to some of our older continents, so we need to adjust speed accordingly.
