Parent post is the obvious and correct answer. Next question please. I know that insulting people isn't a good way to conduct an argument but if you ask this question and can't even come up with this answer yourself (yes I rtfa) you're an idiot.
And for the "it's a game, not work", this is such a ridiculous argument which translates to:
"It should be exactly like I want it to be even though it's a MM(ultiplayer)O game. It doesn't matter at all what other people like, in fact I won't even consider thinking about it because they're all there to screw me over anyway. I want instant gratification because that's the only way I can be entertained.
Anyway, I used to play Everquest (a lot) and one of the biggest disappointments was when they introduced the city portals.
When I first started playing (as an ogre) traveling from the Oggok (ogre city) to Neriak (dark elves) was quite a trip, which I had to prepare for and I had to be constantly alert so I wouldn't die (those damn madmen and sand giants).
Not to mention traveling to for example Ak'Anon or Erudin, for which trip you actually needed to sneak through human controlled cities to take a ship.
That was awesome to me. I can understand that it's not fun for everyone but when discussing these features at least consider this!
