Effect of Removing Portals

There are going to be 3 groups that will be effected by the removal of portals.
1. The explorers: These people like to get out and explore the beautiful game that blizzard made. They will like these changes and support them.
2. The new explorer: These people, now forced to spend time traveling, will explore the continents. Before, they wouldn't consider leaving the cities, but now they see what they were missing.
3. The lazy person: This person won't be effected. These people never leave the cities to do anything other than raid, and even then they get summoned. These people didn't leave the cities in WotLK, and they will continue to stay in them. They only used the portals to visit the AH, or craft something for someone in one of the old capitals. Now that Org/IF/SW will be the major cities, they will sit there. In fact, this change is better for them, because people will be more centralized in the same city.

Just my 2 cents.
