I would never do it either.I did try one to convince my sister to go with us in a dungeon it didn’t out she wanted to do her own thing .I respected her wishes even if it was a guild run.
But it is the issue. The entire reason we’re complaining is because of increased travel times.
And that will never happen. We have an infinitely higher chance of this change being reverted than Blizzard turning flight paths into portals.
I’m really not, please don’t misquote me.
I have the theory they want to passively kill the game, make us all so furious that will unsub, so they can release a new mmo.
I mean, it’s kinda obvious these changes are NOT to make the game better.

Lol it’s about to be like that. Small changes like this over and over will cause people to quit.
And the Oscar for “Best White Knight” goes to this dude.
I slightly agree with where you are going there but I’m more talking about as a general concept. Like, most people understand why they add portals but when you try to understand what the OP said, it doesn’t feel like they are replacing anything.
In this case, it is a pure removal of a system that, more than likely, most everyone in the game uses. At that point it does start to become just an inconvenience and a change just for the sake of change. This is where the rage is coming from because it is on top of multiple things already removed from the game at a time where people are already hovering over that unsub button.
Don’t respond to Direspirit. Scroll past. Not worth engaging in someone who won’t listen.

No body in this entire 5k post long thread did this, you don’t need to lie, your opinion is already popular.
I keep seeing people quoting it’s just a couple of extra minutes to get to CoT. Well, guess what? It’s not just that portal people use to farm old dungeons/raids. People also farm Kara, Pandaria raids/dungeons, and other places. All that extra travel adds up. It’s not just 2 extra minutes per character.
I’m still missing mounts from all those places so for just this character it’s not just 2 minutes. It’s a lot more than that.

No. Not that AT ALL.
The problem is we have X travel time CURRENTLY.
We are FINE with that.
What we’re not fine with is ADDING X MORE time for absolutely no good reason whatsoever
Im not stupid or naive.
I know you all get the point now. Lets just stop pretending, shall we?

For sure! I just think CoT is the biggest issue for most people. Although I think every portal is just as big as the CoT one because the end goal is the same, mog and mounts mostly, right?

I think we are mostly on the same page here, although I disagree with some nitpicks. To me if every place in the game is reachable within a reasonable time I would consider no harm done. However, some places did became a hassle to reach.
More like the Toba explosions of 70000BCE: for this will shake our world and be the end for many of us in it. Not as a fait accompli but more like the final straw.
Clear your calendars peoples: Tuesday’s coming like the Earps in Tombstone!
Runs to get his fav ‘cowboy’ outfit ready, flipping hair all the way
yeah…actually they have done just that…a number of times telling us how we CAN play instead.
Stop the personal attacks and this campaign of yours. There is no reason for it to continue.
Yes, those farmers will be disproportionately affected. Mainly because of the nature of the content they do.
You don’t have much room to talk after equating farming with self harm.

I’ll agree with that. My entire thing is just the straight removal of game features. I’m a huge fan of player choice and options. It always feels like going backwards when you are removing features without having major gameplay reasons, having bugs, or having replacements ready in the pipeline. That is why I was always against removing master loot. I never used it or was in a guild that did, I just hate the fact options were removed.

Honestly, I don’t mind portal rooms, and I don’t mind some of them being spread out. Yes, having a centralized portal room in the city is a GREAT idea (cuz then I don’t have to sit there and go ok where is that portal I need?) but DON’T TAKE AWAY MY PORTALS. I like having the portal room under New Dalaran. Wyrmrest temple and Caverns of Time portals were the ones I used the most. I, unlike the CM commenting on these, don’t like to have to waste valuable game time flying to one flypoint just to have to get to somewhere else. Removing portals like Caverns of Time just makes me not want to do the content I was using them for, which makes me not want to play the game. I’m already losing interest in BfA as I feel its going away from what made Legion enjoyable, and losing the portals that makes doing all the other content (mount farming or recipe farming, etc) less tedious make it even more tedious which flips me off of wanting to do the old content. Leave the under Dalaran portal room alone. Heck – consolidate them if you want but don’t remove portals EVERYONE USES. We don’t need a “bigger” world, we need a game that reduces tedium when we already have more than enough tedium with the rep farming and wq bs we already have to do.
