This is just a suggestion for an easier way to get between azeroth and the outland once you have visited there. Many people have to ask for portals back to IF. I feel that it would be much better if we were given an extra outland hearthstone or have perm portals to each main city in just one city of each area of the outland. Any other suggestions?

To answer both your questions...Shattrah has portals to each major city, if your too god damn lazy to jump on a flight path and go afk to make a sandwich while you fly to shattrah then you probably should rid the world of your presence.
As for Heavy's remark...the reason there is no AH or trainers in the outland is because Blizz wants you to still have a reason to travel back to Azeroth...at least thats what I think.

Yeah people spamming for ports back to IF/SW are idiots. First thing you need to do when you reach Outland is open up your bird in both holds in Hellfire Penn., ride to Zangermarsh and open your bird, ride to Shattarath City and open your bird there. Now just set your heartstone to your quest hub. Now you can fly to Shattarath City and portal back to Azeroth and just hearth back to your questing hub anytime you want.

nod, thats the real reason methinks. however the official response from blizzard would be something to do with the fact that due to Outland being a front line for wars and whatnot, there isn't the infrastructure in place to support such things. IE the goblins haven't setup their object transporterers.

We don't have a plan to do anything like this at this point in time. Travel back and forth is very easy with the use of the portals and hearthstone and with multiple flightpaths in the zones, travel can be fairly painless. That said though, we will keep an eye on how things progress and if for some reason we feel a change like this is warranted, we'll put it in consideration.

Q u o t e: How about they put AH's and Class trainers in Shattrah. Sounds better no?
Yeah because lag on the AH in Org or Ironforge wasn't bad enough. Let's have all Alliance and all Horde congregate in one city...

You have time to go make a sandwich on the bird in Outlands? The 10 minute flight from UC to Swamp of Sorrows, sure. But the 90 second flights in Outland...
Makes those that can't be bothered with using the portals in Shattrath even more pathetic...
But I will say, being Horde, getting back to Outlands if your hearthstone isn't ready and the only mages and warlocks you can find are asshats, is ridiculous.
