Blizzard, are you actively trying to drive subscription numbers into the ground? Right now, you should be doing everything to please the customer and entice people back. As I said in the other thread, do not introduce a bunch of helpful portals and then take them away. Total bait and switch. I thought that the portal rooms were going to alleviate the problem of jumping through hoops and portal-hopping, not make it worse! The world gets bigger every expansion; I do not have time to harass a mage when I want to go somewhere. Mages do not have all the portals to Caverns of Time, Karazhan, etc. These portals will be severely missed. I use them a lot for holiday quests and farming.
“B-but…do you guys not have portals?”
Saying “just get a mage” is such a cop out.
