No more portals in Dal, Shatt?

Call me a minority, but part of the appeal of this game is it's massive sandbox of a world to explore. Making travel instant and on-demand kind of takes away from the size and scope of the world. I honestly don't mind taking a 5 or 10 minute flight path, if it means I can either take a washroom break, stretch my legs, or just sit back and enjoy the scenery as it passes by underneath me.
There are class trainers and auction houses in Shatt/Dalaran now, but nobody seems to be praising this... only complaining that the portals are gone.

Because it means the lazy people actually have to move, and not just sit in Dalaran for hours on end, complaining about everything.

That's just it though...they don't have to move at all now and they don't seem to realize that. There is NO REASON to go to a place outside your level range now...they could never leave dalaran til cata hits and be just fine. I think what they have done is emphasize "need" travel vs. "want" travel (while admittedly all travel in a video game is want travel but I think most of you will follow what I mean here)
Things you will really need for your level are fully accesible to you now without having to go to content meant for another level.
Content meant for another level will no longer be immediately accessible and you will have to do a bit of traveling...all they did was stop there being a horde of alts in shatt or dal using them to zip around the world in ways they no longer need to do for basic questing/leveling purposes and by doing so could circumvent the new streamlined leveling process and miss out on the story.
All in all...if you miss the ports...BREATHE...and wait for the knowledge that you really aren't missing anything to sink in...and when cata hits you probably won't remember to QQ about this anymore because you won't be in shatt or dal anymore...

Why not have portals in a major city?
Just so a player can get to the general location they need to be! old/new content makes no difference!
Running 300 cooking daily quests on my main was simply not fun!
Now, I just started running them on a alt... add boat / flying travel time (round trip) = PITA :(
Sadly, the blue post in the link sounded like an arrogant twit... didn't make any points with me.

I was annoyed with all the people asking "where are the portals"?
So I said that portals were phased and had to be unlocked with a quest. Does this make me bad?

Let's not forget the Caverns of Time portal in both Shattrath and Dalaran, I'm actually using that a lot to get to back to Azeroth.

The amount of qq about this is simply mind boggling. Just wow.

Ok, well i'm still not upset about it but living with it for a while I'm starting to miss portals some. I would be happier if there were ports from dalaran to shattrath and perhaps a portal back to one major city per faction in both dalaran and shatt (mainly dal)...but mostly I just want a shat-dal portal. I still like to do the shat fishing dailies, or to go grind old rep and it's irritating to go the long route..I'll live though :)
