I already play there, albeit casually.
It’s funny how every player has 1-3 teleports PER ZONE and the zones aren’t any smaller. They’re as large as the content and reasons to go there.
If there’s no reason to go to a zone, then people just aren’t going to be there. And if there’s reasons to go, then people will be there.
You could add every Teleport spell in the game to every character in WOW right now, and the ONLY impact would be that old capitals get more visitors.
The game world would be the same size.

The Classic community will have their cake, but neither will they have unlinked AH and unlinked FPs. The point was beaten to death in the main thread that back in 2004- TBC launch we only had 2 continents of with lots of incomplete zones without the motivations of collections being a driving factor of gameplay.
If we’re to hold Blizzard to their core value of “Gameplay First” then they need to reevaluate their design philosophy when it comes to trimming QoL features. Collectors are a huge part of the modern WoW community now, and as evidenced in the feedback from the other thread, they wanna be grinding the content on their 12 alts, not losing hours to transit flying from Uldum to CoT for the 12th time.

Just keep the portals in Dalaran intact, please. It’s a mage-city with a dedicated portal room with specialized portals that people use frequently. I understand that you don’t want portals dotted around randomly in Orgrimmar and other places, but that’s why portal rooms such as the one in Dalaran exist.

The yak was a well liked Community Manager named Yithisiens. His icon was a yak. He was among the 700-800 let go. You should see his twitter page. Nothing but people saying what happened sucked, saying they liked him, that they’ll miss him and that they hope things work out for him.
THAT is Community.

All we wanted with the portal room was for Orgrimmar/Stormwind to be cleaned up. Nothing more.
5000 replies and all mostly negative to your changes. Pay attention for once.

Well, that happens when people at Blizzcon cheer up everything devs announce. Like this.
Yeah he sure cares a LOT about how others play this game. Why?

Lol it’s not. This is what they think of the community now, basically they don’t care.

That is a lot of hyperbole. Minutes =/= hours. Those minutes are in the single digits I might add. Almost everywhere in the world you can get to with a portal within 5 minutes.
Blizzard has a very, very long way to go to if they want to make an immersive persistent world. Removing some portals won’t do it. It isn’t even really a first step. That has never been what they were doing. Their ‘innovation’ in the mmo space was actually to discard the idea of making a sandbox world and instead inventing the theme park model that they have refined on each expansion.
If you are playing WoW hoping it will be Eve Online you aren’t going to have a very good time.

I know who he is, he’s a guildie, heck, I’ve got a selfie from when he was up in Toronto for fan expo last year for the booth.
I was just talking about the hashtag, I hadn’t seen it before.
To be honest, this wouldn’t bother me much at all–as long as it was account wide. I’d rather do that than grind out rep for those rings and stuff on every. single. alt.
You see in this instance it will do nothing of the sort, it will only add to it.
Now if we knew this was some sort of a design philosophy from the get go…sure.
