You are discussing changes the devs would not do as it would require far more work than the present and next expansion. There is a reason that redoing old zones ( a player request) took years and required release as a paid expansion. It cost them a fortune in man hours recoding and redesigning. The present devs have limited focuses; raids, speed dungeons, pvp, classic. I seriously doubt you will ever see a revamp of old content again.
They have NO arugment here anyway until we’ve removed ALL summoning stones and the group finder entirely.

Yup! Get rid of every single inconvenience then or are just portals okay? If so, why?
And the opposite is also true, that is my point. Just because it is an inconvenience does not mean that it is automatically bad. You need to argue why this specific inconvenience should be eliminated and I’ll probably agree with you since I support many things that completely eliminate it.
Would you be okay with the removal of every single thing that makes it easier to get around the world or just portals?

Oh see,What you are saying ,that is only part of the picture not the whole.They can’t play god in a game played by people that pay them. The system in most part is in auto mode ,with aside from bugs they can’t fix along ,they can set thing right with the player.
So, this thread is getting pretty close to the original in size and Blue OP has only 51 likes.
Meanwhile Felryn is sitting at 760 over on the original.
At 10k pages between both threads, we are at the equivalent of 20 full threads on the old forums and we are just getting started.
That’s pretty telling of what people want. I’d be willing to say people care more about their portals than they do flying.

making your character scale back to the appropriate level (a technology that they already have) and making flight paths skippable does not require any amount of work. You don’t have to recode and redesign anything.
The present devs have limited focuses; raids, speed dungeons, pvp, classic. I seriously doubt you will ever see a revamp of old content again.
They just added leveling scaling to the entire old world, what are you talking about?
Then ALL summoning stones, Flight and the group finder must be removed.
IF some pathetic nothing portals to nowhere are THAT detrimental to this game then SO ARE ALL of those.

Then why aren’t they adding incentives to go out and see the world? Why is the blue poster in this thread mentioning instant teleport items if the intention is to get us to go out and see the world? It’s almost like they don’t really care and just want to add more time to the things we were already doing.
[/quote] Missed opportunity on the devs part imo with Legion, and BFA. They could of added something like one weekly legion invasion to Eastern Kingdoms, and Kalimdor. Could of done the same with faction assaults in bfa. Current content would still be the most relevant, but that would of given folks a reason to go back to the old Ek, a kalimdor zones even if it was only a once a week thing. Would also give the folks that are out leveling in the old zones something to look forward to outside of doing the same old, and boring gather hooves, or candles this, or that quests.
And how would you a simple player know this? That coding doesn’t have to be used for in moving flight path and scaling?
Do some google and Bing searches for the portal removals. This forum is only a small part of this bonfire. Most players dont even post here from what I can tell. Tons on youtube and other websites tossing the exact same fit about this change.

The portals are not detrimental, the fact that you jump on a griphon and have to watch a 10 minutes unskipable cinematic to go where you want is the problem.

I know that youre the messenger boy of the tall forheads who make these kind of decisions.
But really there is no point in feedback that i can give because ona fundmantal level you all have just stopped caring. But you can tell them this, for the person or persons who came up with this idea and all the other pointless time consuming ideas that you jokers get to raise your metrics
Every last one of you is a terrible person and you dont give a damn about the players.

Thats right, they ARENT. Though YOU have made it sound as if they are being removed of NECESSITY rather than sheer petulance, as they are.
Again…the problem for MY game and others who keep that AH stocked for YOU and yours is OUR time is WASTED when OUR portals of convenience that have been there for half a decade or more of NOT being detrimental or needing to be removed in any conceivable way whatsoever.

I don’t think that you were. I think that you were caught (once again) not knowing what you were talking about.

Portals are not being overused, if they are included as they were originally made. The items in inventories do work as portals to major cities. The problem with removing portals that were originally there, is that the locations are not easily reached with the 8.1.5 implementation of portals. The 8.1 implementation is much, much better.

Seems to be a thing around here with some who have admitted numerous times they have no pony in this race and are clearly in here to troll.

I am a computer programmer, I do websites for a living and I’ve worked on game companies before (mobile games). I also have a degree in Digital Games Technology.
The scaling tech is already in the game so no coding needed, the flight path suggestion is just make it behave like the flight master whistle and copying the behavior of something existing is a very simple task.
