    I’d forgotten all about that.

    All the sex pests felt like a “good” reason to quit WoW but I’d say my real reason was it had become a piece of shit that didn’t value my time, and I’d honestly been looking for a reason to quit for a long time.

      The removed a bunch of portals from WoW in order to “make the world feel big” (make you waste more time traveling instead of doing fun things).

        I might just be too casual, but I remember that half the fun of WoW was traveling. Of course, I never got into raids or pvp anyway, I leveled up and did dungeons lol

          Travel (especially in older zones where you would be using portals) consists of:
          Mount flying mount, point in the right direction, hit auto-run, wait.

          Not really the most exciting game play experience when you’ve already flown over the area a dozen times before. Taxis are also just as bad. Other MMOs (Guldwars 2, FF14) have no problem with players teleporting directly to somewhere close to their destination. They already traveled their once, no need to force them to do it again.

            Oh much of my playtime was in Azeroth during TBC, I didn’t really have flying mounts lol
