Removal of loading screens

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Seriously, Blizzard solved this problem already in 2004. You had loading screens when you made a continent switch or when you entered an instanced area. But those situations were very rare. In FF14, which is younger than WoW vanilla you have loading screens everywhere. And now we have 2021. I cannot understand that it is still in this game.

They'd have to do a lot of terrain and map work to remove them.

Almost none of the maps would line up or have good transitions of they just "got rid of the loading screens". They weren't designed that way.

Wow was. Simple as that.

Yeah. Making even just the two halves of the older cities fit together would quire a good deal of additional work for little actual payoff. Let alone outdoor zones even in the same region.

It'd be nice but the devs have new zones to be working on, not worth the time and resources it would take compared to doing new areas.

And in EW things are way too disconnected geographically so even if they 'were' at a point they could say, put all six of an expansoin's zones into one instance, which I doubt they are, they wouldn't be able to do it in 6.0 either.
