I don't get why those portals are there to begin with.
I can only assume the portals are there to ease the travel times provide an entrance to Deepholm. All the new zones are literally all around the world from each other. It's not like BC where you enter a portal and pretty much anything you care about is all connected. Same with Northrend. I honestly appreciate those portals since I do a lot of travel back and fourth to those zones to the quartermasters, do more quests for rep, etc.

Assuming the reason they removed the ones in Dalaran and Shattrath was to make people use their faction capitals instead of clumping up in one city, why add portals to another city then?
Adding the portals to other cities would go a long way to letting people hang out in the city of choice rather then congregate in Stormwind or Orgrimmar all the time. It's a well known fact that pretty much any and all players will take the path of least resistance. Which is cluttered in those two cities which provides you with the BEST possible advantage for world wide travel.
I'm just complaining about how empty and pointless Iron Forge feels. It would be nice if it was full of people again.
