This was a big complaint of mine as well and it was mostly due to technical limitations. Something as simple as flying from the top of Yak Tel to the bottom with the changing aesthetics was impossible without a loading screen before the graphical update. Dawntrail zones were a big improvement of the previous ones, so hopefully that trend continues as they continue to explore their new capabilities.
