I'd thing that this is less of a gimmick, and more of an immersion tool. Vehicles have always been a big part of the Warcraft RTS games. Assaulting a city with an actual siege engine makes a whole lot more sense than being on foot and stabbing a wall.

Gimmicks arn't always bad for RPG's, so if they are done right they could be good for MMORPG's as well. How many people here spent hours and hours breeding chocobo's in FF7? At the end of that time you got a shiny new spell.
It works the same way for WoW, after mastering the vehicle "gimmick", you can get some shiny new loot from FL.
