More time traveling between cities = hard?
It was convenience thats all it was with the portals hubs, now they are just increasing travel time that is all they are doing, that is not making the game hard at all...

I'm parkin' the mage in dalaran to sell ports to the people who haven't moved out by patch day. Nothing outrageous but I can make a few gold.
Hmm, didn't think about this. Better make sure my low level alts without flying are out of Shatt or Dal. It would be nice if Blizz put in a questgiver that would give you a one time port out of those cities to Org or SW for those who don't realize the significance of the change.

the portals are going to be replaced with class trainers. last I heard.
Bah, you're right. From the link I posted above:
# Portals in Dalaran/Shattrath Removed
# Class trainers in Dalaran where portals once were
I even remember reading that, but obviously completely missed the significance of it as I was trying to figure out why they'd even need to remove the Dalaran / Shattrath portals. I had originally thought that the Orgrimmar portal hub that's coming in Cataclysm would include portals to Shat, Dal, TB, UC, etc, just like Dalaran / Shattrath does. After looking into it further that doesn't appear to be the case, so I can see now why they'd want to remove the hubs in Shat / Dal.
I still think a better solution would be to offer a similar hub in Org / Stormwind also.

I like the change. While subs can be convienent, they kinda kill the whole continious world immersion in heavy doses.
EVERYONE would be in Dalaran come expansion, which I suppose is how it already is, which kinda sucks.

i kinda liked how it was without the portals in either of those cities. i remember i used to bind at astranaar and walk down to the wsg place to queue...and get in some nice pvp at splintertree or barrens. i would like to see more reasons for there to be traffic running through the lands instead of portals and flight points everywhere.

Don't forget you can fly everywhere now. A trip that might have taken 3 or 4 minutes via a flight path before might now only take a minute of flying on your own. And most of the old world zones are smaller in overall size than the outland and northrend zones (unless they are being enlarged through this expansion).
Because you'll be moving 3x faster flying AND because the zones are generally smaller AND because you won't have to follow some ridiculously long and scenic flight path.... your travel times will be shorter.
