Who's we? I just took up residence in Orgrimmar again. Sure, it's mildly inconvenient, but that's probably going to change a fair bit in a week or so.

Why not!
Because the Mayors of Shattrah and Dalaran refused to agree to the rent increase.
BRING BACK PORTALS players want them back and these postings will NOT go away no matter how many they lock down.they will just pop up new postings and raise such a ruckus that the people in support of portals gone will finally give in and beg for them to be back just to shut us up.if thats what it takes then me and others will continue to complain until our voices are heard
Or not as the case may be. Blizz might 'give in' to a reasoned argument, but threats have never worked (at least I couldn't find a case).
It's hard to say whether Blizz would give in to a reasoned argument. As I don't recall seeing one, it's hard to judge whether it would succeed.
The reason the portals are removed is to remove Dalaran as hub of the world. Most people were in Dalaran, as you could quickly get from a to b. This was fine as long as the emphasis was on Northrend. Now that the Old World has been re-ïntegrated into the game, people should no longer use Dalaran as a hub (according to Blizz). So no more portals.
If someone wants to convince Blizz to return the portals, they will have to come up with a reasoned argument how the portals won't interfere with an integrated world where Dalaran is no longer a hub.

As said multiple times through out this thread: Stop being lazy and walk/fly/take a boat, and as of next Tuesday if your over 60, you can fly in Azeroth.

The only portal I'd support adding would be a single portal per faction in Dalaran/Shattrath, leading to Stormwind/Orgrimmar, and restricted so that characters over a particular level cannot use it.
Basically, an 'escape hatch' for low-level alts that were hearthed to the hub cities wouldn't be a horrible thing.
But it's also not a huge necessity.

Road, portals arent coming back and blizz isnt ever bringing htem back no matter how much people whine.
Unfortunately you arent even in majority.
it wont change anything with them gone because players will still continue to "hang out" in dalaran doing nothing but running randoms and or chatting with friends.the only downside to portal removal will serve to make mages able to overcharge since they will still have the ability to travel from town to town.the bottom line is portal removal solves nothing but to make life miserable for non mages.
no they wont. because stormwind has the portals to the new areas which have all the new daily hubs and the Grim Batol VOA like area.
after all if non mages no longer have a method of getting around in a flash of light will make game play "better" then balance the playing field get rid of
and no they wont take away the abilities of porting from anyone cause they existed before shatarath portals and before dalaran portals in vanilla. That sorta talk is silly.
Also, unless you see a mage advertising his wears just when you need one, you'll have to hunt around for about the same time it takes to get a boat/train/flightmaster/fly there yourself to the location.
Mages wont be advertising much in cities as of cata cause they and everyone else will be using the SW portals to the new areas and other than below 60's and old expac ports, there isnt too huge a need for 80+ people to port between cities.
SW is going to be the hub. which is the reason its so changed and updated. SW has everything those leveled for high level area's need.
We dont need the portals anymore for the AH or training new abilities, only reasons needed for it are reasons that are lazy and for spoilt conveniences sake.
Even without the portals, travel time in wow is WAAAYYYY less than most other games of its size and type.
oh and iam using words like "most" and etc, so bring up a few exceptions as examples doesnt matter a damn, because they're called exceptions for a reason.

Blizzard wants Stormwind to be the center of the action.
The players want quick access to their capital cities.
So, if we put portals to the other capitals in Stormwind, wouldn't that solve both problems?Except...Stormwind is already connected to the other three cities by the boat and the tram? As well as the boat to Northrend and the Portal to Blasted Lands/Dark Portal.

im a player that adapts my whining when i feel the need for it and im not the only one that wants our portals back and we will not stop until blizz puts them back even if its just to get some peace and quiet from all the racket
Problem with that Roadkill...your complaining on a Warcraft fan site, where actual Blizzard employees are not reading this; you want to complain about it, go do it on the actual forum and stop the QQ here please.

i put a posting on here since it is apperantly the only forum that players can read without some blizz GM locking the threads
Threads can be locked here too.
will continue to be a thorn in your collective side that WILL NOT go away
Wanna bet?

So what you're saying is "I'll continue to write for all eternity, no matter whether anybody agrees with me, and though I have no real hope of getting my way. I'm just doing this to be annoying, really."
I think this matter has been explored quite adequately. We get that you don't like the latest change and that you resent Blizzard for implementing it and other players for not disliking it.
