That's probably why nowadays almost every AAA production has a "director", the job between what the money people (producers) want and what the development people (artists) do. Productions are team-based, unless you have a huge stake in the game or being a crowdfunding snowflake, there's no way you're gonna be the sole decision maker. It's a jack-of-all-trades standoff, when things succeed people get promoted and rewarded and when things fail the team takes the hit and you just move forward a new job.

8.1.5 introduces the new Portal room which has most of the basic needs. The only issue you have is that you can't use certain expansion portals until you unlock them on that character, unless you bypass them the usual way you've always done before with a mage.
I think its fine like that, since old expansions were a pain in the balls with higher levels hanging around in old content lagging the fuck out of everything. Dalaran is STILL a douche to log into, and that's partly because its INFESTED with level 120's that are hanging around all the time. Maybe now they'll fuck off.

I'd argue that complaining about there being too many people in an area in an MMO means you should be looking to play other genres, and into buying a better PC as well.

Dalaran is terrible, and has been terrible since like 7.1 for some reason. IIRC we all complained about it after that patch, still unsure what they did.
There was some cvar or some shit that allowed you to load before everything else in dalaran loads and that helped a lot at least.

Just guessing, but the cause might be due to Dal 2.0 having a ridiculous number of things going on with it. Stuff like quests & spawned NPC's/entities for every class, and the underbelly being there is probably conflicting with the reduction of server assets allocated for it once they shifted over to BFA.

I don't get the removal of Caverns of Time and Karazhan. Granted, you can get there by other means, but the convenience is completely gone. If they put a flight master there, I'd be okay with it somewhat because I could afk-fly there, but no dice.
I went on the PTR earlier and this is what's up.
The portal room in Orgrimmar has:
Silvermoon
Shattrath (BC)
Warspear/Ashran (WoD)
Azsuna (ports you to the ghost elf spot, not Legion-Dalaran for some reason. Maybe because you have the hearthstone?)
Zuldazar (BfA)
Honeydew Village (MoP)
The Cataclysm portals are still there - Uldum, Vashj'ir, Deepholm, Hyjal, and Twilight Highlands.
All the portals in Orgrimmar underground are gone, including Blasted Lands.
I'm not sure why they made some of these changes, but one thing that bothers me is the portal room itself: there's no space for new portals. They customized it for some current stuff, but there's no design as if to include future ones for newer expansions. Are they going to redo the whole damn thing over and over each time?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they have some embarrassing metric that shows a large number of people are running old shit and ignoring BfA content.
They can fuck right off with their cutesy "doesn't it make the world feel alive and bigger?" teehee *wink*

Their metric is time. They think making simple tasks longer to perform is a good thing because they are logged in longer.
