Okay, so I've thought of a couple things that I think would be awesome to have implemented in-game, but haven't been able to post on the forums for a bit (until I discovered it was just my browser), so I haven't mentioned them yet, hopefully I'll remember everything about the ideas that I previously thought of.

First Idea: Having Liron <Teleport Master> be an innkeeper.

So, Liron has a shop "Pruchase Goods & Repair" similar to what you may find at any inn, through the innkeeper. Liron is also in many different areas that you can teleport to, and in many spots that you must walk to. As an example, he is in front of every instance (Classic instances that you cannot teleport to anymore, and must walk to from the nearest teleportable area). I think it would be awesome to give Liron the option that every innkeeper has, the ability to make this location your "home". This would allow for someone to save their home to in front of an instance. That way, if they need to take a break from farming an instance (for recipes or transmog gear), they can use Liron to teleport back to the mall or where ever, and then hearth back to the Liron spot that they saved. I've often had to interrupt my farming to go re-queue for a battleground, tank an instance, or buy more supplies (speed potions/well fed food/etc...). It doesn't take long to run back to most instances, but it quite annoying and requires only a simple change to be fixed.

This kind of leads into my second idea that I can remember.

Second Idea: Having Liron <Teleport Master> be able to queue players for BG or Arena, or both.

It would be nice to be able to speak to Liron, no matter where you are, and have an option to queue for the current BattleGround that is being played, or for 2v2 Rated/3v3 solo queue rated. OR all three. I know people just see this as being lazy, and blah blah blah. But we have a teleport master in game, and have all the flightpaths available to us. Why not maximize the use of Liron?

It could even be implemented so that only donor's have these options with Liron; 'Make this Inn my home' and 'I want to join the BattleGround' _ 'I want to queue for the arena' _ 'Queue 3v3 Solo [Rated]'. This way, after you have donated, these options will appear in the list of things available through Liron, similar to 'Donor Mall (you're a donor! <3)'

I don't think that it would be too difficult to implement, and would be extremely helpful. It may even cause some people to donate that wouldn't have before, if thats the way you choose to put it in. I simply think its a great idea, just like Dual Talent Specialization :).

Actually someone "recently" put this Liron in front of every classic instance, so don't say "we can't tp there anymore". It was probably when few GMs had the idea to add these instances at Liron tp list but it didn't happen.
While I really think that creating a direct teleport to these low levels instances kills the true farmers who usually ran during 10 minutes to farm BoE items between 2 BGs, I believe it would be something legit to see on such custom server.

However that's the only idea I support. If Liron has got a queue system for battlegrounds or arenas, it would split too much the pop and that's not something good to do, even more with our low population.

Well, there ARE Liron's in front of every classic instance. However, you cannot teleport from one Liron to another, hence you are unable to teleport to classic instances, someone mentioned to me that there used to be teleports to all of the old dungeons, but they were removed. I could be wrong, I dont know. But thats what I mean that you cannot teleport to any vanilla instances. As one example, I had to run Wailing Caverns over 40 times to get one bind on equip trash loot. During those runs, I was unable to queue for any BG's or arena, and had to leave to get more supplies (drums of speed, speed potions, etc..) often. It was annoying to have to run back each time, even though its not that far of a run.

Yes, I see your point about the BG/Arena queues. But if they were to add the 'Make this inn my home' option to Liron, that would eliminate the need for the Queueing options.
