Yeah was thinking these. I think portal to Blasted lands came later but wondering about that portal on the other side of Dark Portal that brought you to Sw/org, was that one before the quel’danas one or not?
Looking on the wiki, it says that we had portals to every city but they were destroyed when cataclysm hit. They then re-introduced org and sw portals later on:
https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Shattrath_City
So it looks like we had those before isle of q at least. Maybe that is why we think they got added later. Now i think about it, weren’t the city portals paired together at opposite sides of the circle? Like say exodar and tb at one side.
Its been so long, all i remember about shattrah mostly was dying by jumping from the aldor platform.

I agree entirely that Blizzard have made a mistake by introducing these portals and features that they didn’t want in the first place. In fact, I recall broadly having said that World of Warcraft has gone in a direction I don’t like that, and that it’s going to be difficult to change it back, but I’ll bloody well still take the fight that needs taking provided Blizzard aren’t just going to make a new server type. (Classic doesn’t count, cause it didn’t add anything at all - not even the content! That’s not what I want. I want a rollback on systems and “convenience” features)
It’s all well and good for us to go around saying that Blizzard shouldn’t have done it in the first place, but it’s also not really helpful. What, exactly, do we want given what we have now? That’s a far more useful discussion, but we couldn’t have that discussion because of “MUH PORTALS!!” and that was extremely grating.
I honestly think they should have stuck to removing the old hub ones at the start of every new expansion. No one would be so upset now then because it would all be the norm.

Yeah, they messed up as soon as they let the mop ones slide.
TBH they did that with Shrine, they removed the portals to all the cities as they added new Dalaran.
Only remain Shattrah, Old Dalaran and Org/SW.
But now they remove portal to that place O.o.
They removed most portal from old Dalaran when we moved to cataclysm to put them in SW. All the city portals are gone
But then they remove the portal for COT that had been there.
So it was only fair that they removed what had to be removed when they proceeded to do so.
Now doesn’t make any sense, it is a second wave of portal removal.

How can it be this when you seen it a thousand times ? Maybe i have a different view on adventure to me its about pushing yourself and see’ing places NEW .
None of what you class in my view is that its just a mundane treck sorry to say .

I know, but talkin with him is interesting.
He is one of the clever ppl here (no sarcasm). I hardly agree with him. Perhaps because as you say he argue just for the sake of arguing… but that’s it.
probably being a polemist myself i find this kind of behavior challenging
Yet you got upset when people didnt share your view on “muh weather” so please spare us and me your arrogance .

You have no idea what that thread was actually about, do you?
No, of course you don’t. Silly me. xD
If you can’t understand the problem from reading that thread, then there’s nothing I can say or do to make you understand, so I’m not even going to try, honestly.
Also, I wasn’t running around flaming people in that thread like you are me.
How about this: Sometimes there are new things in an old area which gives you reason to come back many times. Although you may know the general layout of the land, you haven’t seen all the new stuff that happens in there. More storytelling, less landscaping. Can’t see any problems with that whatsoever. It’s just that Blizzard implemented half the solution and neglected the other half.
I broadly agree with Taliesin on this topic - it’s fun in and of itself that the distance it takes to go somewhere is part of the reward loop. It’s great when the game doesn’t have a lot of loading screens (because you’re not being teleported) and it can be very immersive, overwhelming, and powerful to just travel through the world. I don’t want to see that ruined by 7852582 portals, but it was. Now it’s less so, and therefore I am happy, even if Blizzard didn’t go all the way.
Speaks for itself doesnt it .
Mostly in instances very very rare they add new quests to old zones so that point is moot sorry .
Sure for the first 5 to 6 months of an expac i love it after that and 14 years later its been there and done that but just because people dont share your view you come into a post as always with your aggersive tones and arrogance .
You flame and disrepect people all the time so please dont play the victim ive seen you bully an MvP alot and i mean alot of times .
Why not simply have mage npcs at certain locations that can offer portals, but for a fee?
100g for a portal to Org or Stormwind, 1000g to CoT, etc
The more exotic the location the steeper the price.
Gives player mages a chance to earn some coin selling portals again, and could still entice players to fly to a location instead of paying for instant access.
Portals were removed from Shrine in 8.1
That’s not arrogance. xD Everyone else got it just fine. I can only bear to explain it to you a limitd number of times before I just start laughing at you.
I know. I have said so. I have said I want them to add more. Which part of this chain of thought fails to process for you?
Ah, so you don’t wanna go there, is that it?
I have an easy solution to that: Don’t.
The very definition of increased playtime for the same rewards. The point made by everyone pointing this is just a blatant metrics padding, without even a decent cover up.

Maybe if you werent such an insufferable person i might take notice more of what drivel you post .I suggest talking to your priest friend he knows how to post in an adult like manner .
Its “limited” btw.
No we are talking out in the world you made no refernce to instances at all in that post .
No idea how you come to that view but judgeing your low IQ i should understand why you come to that sadly .
I was kinda trying to make a point that the already had reworked the Shrine and Pandaria zone about portals. So yeah this change comes as a second waves, they should have done it all together.
Kinda shows Blizzard just does things kinda randomly and not thoughtfully .
It’s not that they haven’t listened, they just want people to try it first.
