It would make sense if they de-instanced both the Blood Elf and Draenei starting areas to make them more accessable to flying mounts. They trashed both of them.
Except you need BC to fly at all.....
Also, even if they added Exodar/Azuremyst/Bloodmyst onto the map, you still wouldn't be able to fly there; fatigue would kill you.

This. I played during vanilla, but I hated having to organize 40 people for a raid, not to mention being pigeon holed into healing.
I am a little surprised. I miss that it was a hard endeavor to do the final parts of the end game material. By making it hard, it made those that fought the fight, while beating their heads trying to figure it out how to win the fight, separate from the pack. It is an elitist value, but it wasn't required either. For example, killing the Lich King should be hard, and should provide a great reward. IMO, there is too much accessibility and not requirements held with that accessibility beyond needing tanks and healers.
However, I think we are going a little offtopic :P

But they could at least make a flight path so you can get there without waiting for a boat.

They could do it now; just have a loading screen after the flight path mount goes past the load point... like it does for the Ghostlands.

I have also wondered why it's not set up this way.
And isn't that how the flight path to Isle of Qel`Danas works? So theres one more reason why this should be done.

Why haven't they done it now anyways? Only reason I can think of is that there isn't a raid in the zones.

I think it boils down to the topic of this thread..
That
Draenei have officially been swept under the rug

That FP is very strange now. I haven't tried it from IF to Quel'Danas, but going the opposite direction takes a LOONG time, because you're routed through Light's Hope Chapel. Went there on my DK yesterday, and had to /facepalm at the fact that there's no loading screen.
EDIT: Well, there's the loading screen for Ghostlands, but other than that you actually FLY from there to IF.
I'm kinda wondering how long it would take to go from Quel'Danas to Booty Bay now...

Don't
we
the Draenei have a large presence in that underwater zone whose name I can't spell?
I'm not sure. Maybe we do. But I'm not sure how to take that if it's true. What were they thinking?
"
Let's give the Draenei some representation in this expansion, put a few of them in this kickass underwater dungeon
."
Or was it more like:
"
What will we do with these Draenei? I Know; We'll just put them in the underwater dungeon. Maybe they'll drown while they're there
."
*Edit: Rolled a critical fail for reality
I wouldn't have even noticed. :P

One of the main characters and quest givers in Vash'jir is a broken shaman.

Aww. I don't really put Broken and Draenei in the same category. I know they're supposed to be related and all but...
When I see Broken I usually think:
"
Oh, one of these guys..
"
Not:
"
What's happenin' my brother? Got any bad ass quests for me to complete this fine day?
"
Maybe it's just me. But I'd rather see more actual Draenei.

Seems like this thread has gone horribly off-topic. In case it doesn't get back on track... yeah. Make it so!

I dost laughed out loud.
On topic, I consider broken to be part of the Draenei...sorta. The broken culture is kinda based on coping with their condition, and the fact that many former priests and paladins cannot communicate with the light. Though I do agree, I would like to see more Draenei and Broken in the game.

Both the Broken and the Lost ones are part of the Draenei race; they're like the fel orcs, the other troll tribes and the like.... well, the Lost Ones are at least. The Broken, from the Kurenai to the Ashtongue, are forces of 'good'.... for the most part, seeing as Akama worked to save Draenor from Illidan and Nobundo was the one who brought shamanism to the Draenei race.

What I don't want to see is the Broken overshadow the Uncorrupted Draenei

Uncorrupted draenei are present in almost every alliance encampment I've been to on beta... don't worry.
And even if you don't consider broken draenei, they are/were the same species - and there are a
lot
of them in cata, especially in the Earthen Ring faction.

This makes me happy. But a quick question, are both the Draenei and Broken NPC's quest givers or just flavor NPC's?

One of the most important characters in Vashj'ir is a broken shaman. He saves your life and guides you throughout the zone. Most other broken and draenei so far in that faction are flavor NPCs. Can recall at least one (uncorrupted) questgiver though.
And yeah, from what I've seen so far there are a lot of new draenei questgivers in old places like Astranaar. Not sure if there are any entirely draenei-based settlements though but never saw them as the kind who builds bases all over to be honest. Aren't most if not all of their settlements temples? (or crashed spaceships... :-P)
