Isn’t it standard BfA procedure, by now? - take away a chunk of player useful material then give a tiny bit back proclaiming it’s a massive enhancement for players?

Did you notice that msot of people are migrating to cities where are work pleaces, and good public transport and roads? Transport system is very important for the development of cities. This same situation with players migration we can see in game. Where you meet most of players?
- In auction house, where they can earn/spend gold(shoping)
- On raid/dungeon enterances(where they are going to work)
- In portal hub where they looking for transport option(public transport).
Thats why if you remove one of this place that people will don’t go in world, they will just stop enter the game or find other way to get to they favourite places faster. And flying master is worst possible solution I ever seen in mmo games. It takes 10-30 min to fly from one part of word to anothed, and I cannot fly from Orgrimmar to Broken Isles. And very ofter I get dc because of stupid sharding!
Portals don’t make the world smaller, it’s still as big as it has ever been. And you’ll still traverse a good chunk of it when those portals are in-game. Removing them and you just add more time and less choice.
I’m sure not even Jito skips these portals for the sake of immersion. :>

Because having 2 raids MH and DS there 6 dungeons is nothing i guess .You know dont worry about twinks/mog/mount/pet collectors .
Hyperbole.
It’s not like they’re removing any of the raids or dungeons in the Caverns of Time.
All they’re doing is removing the portal that takes you there.
But the absence of that portal doesn’t mean you can never go there again.
You can always go there. It will just take 4-5 minutes now instead of 1 minute.
I’m sure the people who have an interest in Caverns of Time can manage spending an additional 3-4 minutes extra on traveling, especially considering the fact that the travel time is still very short.
Because you say its hyperbole doesnt mean nothing .
Yeah sure adding 5 mins per run for 20 chars per week running full clears of heroic DS for the last mount
20 chars X 5 mins = 100 mins = 1 hour 40mins extra you going to say thats fair ?

No it doesn’t you’re right. It just means that unless I specifically want to go there to get something, I won’t be going anywhere near it, because of how far out of the way it is.
Similar to Stratholm, you have to go out of your way to get there. There is no chance of just passing by it, or thinking “Hey there is a portal to X here, I might as well do it as I am already here.”

It does mean something. It means you’re exaggerating an example to lend credence to your point. But exaggeration is by nature not litterally truthful. Hence it becomes hyperbole.
Well how long does it take to run Dragon Soul per character? 30 minutes?
So…
20 chars X 30 mins = 600 mins = 10 hours.
If you’re willing and capable of spending 10 hours a week doing Dragon Soul, it’s probably not the travel time that’s your limitation.

It is really strange that they remove portals that are in the game fo a very long time and some of them came out in the same time as the relevant content. E.g. why remove the portal to Dragonblight now, when it was in the game for quite a long time and for outdated content?
Btw Jito if you do not like portals you can always ignore them, same goes for players who does not want to use Heirlooms etc. No one can force you to use them.

I already addressed this:
You’re not adding an extra 2 hours. It’s less than that. And in your example you forgot to account for the time you already spend traveling there today. But I let that slide.
The point is simply that if you’re willing to invest a great deal of time in doing the content, then it’s probably not the travel time that’s a limiting factor for you. And if you do think it is, well then the obvious solution is to just RUN THE INSTANCE WITH LESS THAN 20 CHARACTERS!
Why should i if iam a mount collector ?
2 hours per week = 8 hours per month = 1 day per 3 months = 4 days per year extra travel time but in your case i shouldnt do that many runs and i should be happy no sorry loseing 4 days per year for travel is not good and please refrain from capsing and bolding at me please .If you have a point to make which it seems you dont then do it in a polite manner thanks.

The problem still stands, why they added those portals in the past in the first place? If it was not a problem back then, when the rewards etc could have quite an impact, why removing them now? The content is outdated and people go there only to farm mounts/appearances.
There is no logical reason why to do this.
That’s just a weak excuse.
Your priorities seem weird to me.
Here’s how I approach WoW.
“I’m done with all my real life responsibilities, now I have 2 hours of free time, so I will play some WoW and do whatever I can manage in those 2 hours.”
You seem to approach it this way:
“I have 20 characters I need to do mount runs on. So I have to find the time to sit down and play WoW for 10 hours, otherwise I won’t be able to do all my mount runs!”
Your approach to WoW seems messed up, in my opinion. No offense.

I am not saying how anyone should spend their time in the game, I am just questioning the priority.
Not at all. I’m just saying that the issue you’re having (the travel time amounts to a lot across 20 characters) is a self-inflicted issue, because you’re choosing to play so many characters, and seemingly willing to put in however much time is needed to do your mount runs.
If you decided to have a fixed time allocation to WoW, then you wouldn’t be having this issue at all. You would just do however many mount runs your allocated time allowed you.

Considering how you’re apparently doing 20 runs as it is, I fail to see how this is an issue.
