I could mount up in SW, fly due west, hit a loading screen and then fly right into Theramore. From there, RFK and RFD are just a stone's throw for farming gear. Or, head north to Orgrimmar and start some static at the front gate. Raiding cities would be so much easier if we could just fly right across the water.
