Exactly, I absolutely hated what little of the continent I saw in Legion. We’re sent back to the center of it during the necklace upgrade questline in BfA, and there’s an arrow saying go this way – 1/3 of the way across the continent – to find the portal and get home, but the map neglects to tell you that a mountain range lies in the way.
I do believe the waterfall I inadvertently rode my horse over was probably 300 feet tall, and there was no way to reach my corpse on all those decorative rock shelves at the bottom, so the repair bill was about 200 gold.
Free-flight was absolutely needed for that expansion, which is why I was so glad, retrospectively, that I didn’t do much there…or buy the expansion.
