A: Most people would rather spam trade and look through the auction house and talk to guildies than walk..
or fly even.
I'm always astounded by how some people would rather spam the trade channel for 20 mns than take the zep and be there in 5.

As said; people are lazy.

Dunno about those portion of mages who are gold fiends but I myself will accept 10g easily to do a portal and most of the time normally accept less than that especially if there lowbies. I even go from Dalaran to Org or whatever to port someone especially if its 10g plus. I mean the reagent for me only costs 16s each if I buy it from the right vendor so 10g alone is a 6250% mark up, that is an amazing profit so if you idiots are willing to pay me 60g then go ahead but I'll accept 10 or less. Some mages are just too greedy. Also btw portals are being added in Deepholme or some new zone.

Heh, aye; and that includes the low level ones; my rogue at level 24 can't que for WC until I discover it.
Err... No... The only ones needing to be discovered are new cataclysm instances.
Er Yes; my rogue cannot que for Wailing Caverns till it walks there.
Adam is correct. Why this only seems to apply to Wailing Caverns is likely because of the sheer hate most people feel towards that dungeon. There are few dungeons that cause people to act up, curse, or even leave the moment they have been ported to the instance, simply because they hate it with all of their soul. This is one of them.
Some friends and I usually joke about Wailing Caverns initialism, WC. The name is highly fitting for how much crap that dungeon is.
About the portals... right now, I always facepalm whenever I see some idiot request a portal to any faction city that isn't dalaran, especially low levels. Seriously, do this: 1. Get a portal to dalaran, or go there yourself if your level is sufficient. 2. Place your home point in Dalaran 3. Use your heartstone whenever you need to get to ANY capital city
This isn't rocket science. Seriously, in my last guild, when I asked where people had their heartstones, more than 20 of them said it was in Orgrimmar. Why, oh why, would you want to limit yourself to 1 city, when you can have free ports to any capital city, that only takes like 1 minute longer to reach?
I still have faith in Blizzard, hoping we will still get a place where we have portals to any capital city, including Shattrath and Dalaran. If not, meh, I suppose it was about time they made Mages and their portals useful. With +310 % flying speed, and Crusader Aura (Paladins ftw), I am flying at almost +400% speed, which is far and above what flight masters can boast. So yeah, have fun with your portals that can get you to any capital city, and then we'll see who can get from Orgrimmar to Tanaris the swiftest.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gryphon##DELIM##

Probably something similar will pop up in Cata for Northrend.

The zep towers are very conveniently located in Orgrimmar now so you can still get around fast between cities as a horde player at least... Not sure about the allies.
Also, for all those alts that will be stuck in Dalaran: You can use the Caverns of Time portal to get out easily. :-)

don't see where the problem is :P rite naw, with the new epic flight training to fly at 310% and my talent "on a pale horse" I fly at the dashing speed of 390%, that's WAY more than enough fast for me, I'll just have my heartstone set to orgrimmar, and from there I can fly to anywhere in kalimdor on my super-fast speed, and if I wanna go to the eastern kingdoms, that's where the Death Gate comes up, so I can port to Acherus, and from there fly wherever I want.
not a real problem.
