    So I made 500g...

    selling portals for an hour in Dalaran. It's good to be a mage!

    edit: To all of you claiming I'm a total jerk for this, boohoo. I am spending my time and, on a lesser note my reagents, I have a full right to be compensated.

    Along with that, I don't charge anything. I just say that tips are encouraged. And most people tip me 5g or so. Thanks for judging!

    Someone sounds mad
    Can't say I care they removed the portals, not like I have any more business in Northrend as raiding has pretty much come to a halt. I guess there's the egg-buying from Oracles, but I can force myself to get a quick zeppelin ride to Borean Tundra.

    And hey, if people are lazy, who's to blame mages for making money off those lazy people :>

    it was said already why portals were removed the reason being is they want more players to be in the newly designed orgrimmar and sw that aint gonna happen if the portals were still there many players stay in dal for these portals so its easy to get from a to b and if im honest i agree with blizzards thinking why design new orgrimmar and stormwind if the majority of players are still gonna be in dalaran

    its a Sound business plan so long as you don't be tight and charge obscene amounts

    I don't charge anything. I just say, "Invite me for portals, tips are encouraged!". So I come off as awesome and everyone HAS to tip me. Also I hold a personal vendetta against people who don't.

    The thing is though, the main need for the portals for people questing there was to have access to the capitals to go to their class trainers. Essentially they just cut out a lot of tedious footwork for people questing 60-70 and 70-80. 80+ won't have any need to be in Dalaran that much anymore regardless. Hell since my 80s T10 sets are full and there is no AH there, I wonder in general why I still hang around in there.

    I ranted about the pointless travel in BC and WOTLK elsewhere before. Every level or two making another tedious trip to reach your class trainer. And in Northrend if you didn't have access to Dalaran yet through the Dragonblight quests it was even worse having to airship your way back and forth, get a flight point to as close as you could to where you left off, and resume. If anything this was the main reason for portals for people who weren't level capped so logistically it probably will make a difference in efficiency when I am leveling 60-80 again with other toons. Class trainers in Dalaran and Shattrath should have been something they implemented LONG AGO...and it's definitely overdue now. Plus once the new Azeroth zones open they figure everybody should be back to hanging around the faction capitals anyway. It's aggravating....for about two weeks....and pointless whining past that point.

    Why yes, that's exactly why they removed the portals.

    Really simple solution: don't pay to use a mage portal. Fly to Valiance keep, take the boat to SW, set HS there, no problems.

    P.S there are still three other ways to get to Dalaran without using a hearthstone.
    Secure accounts ftw!!

    This is the reason that they removed the portals. No other reason.
