I think it would be nice if we were able to fly between the mall and the battlemaster area instead of just being confined to the one area. Also why not put the profession vendors in that big empty area behind the class trainers in the mall? It would make the mall not feel as empty. I never got why the prof. trainers were separated in the Shat and Queldanas. The rep should still be the same to unlock the vendors but it would be nice if they were all in one area and we could fly to them from the battlemasters. Yea flying to them would take a few seconds longer than the portal, it's a novelty thing. Then again flying in battlemaster area is also a novelty and mainly pointless. But it's cool. And I think these ideas would be cool too.

I believe it's made like this just because you need SSO exalted for Alch/Engi, so it's located in Isle of Quel'Danas, it's done the same way for Scryers/Aldor. Makes it a bit more obvious that getting mats requires rep etc.

If the point of it is to make obvious which rep you need I think that is a poor excuse to keep it the way it is. People are not finding how to go about getting professions by which area they are located in. Trust me, I've told way too many people what they have to do to get professions so they obviously aren't finding out they need SSO rep just because the prof. area is Queldanas....
If the prof areas were all in one place in the mall there could also be an information NPC to tell people how to unlock the vendors there, unlike how it is now.

You already can fly between both islands in the mall.

We don't need more NPCs and players constantly stuck in the mall. It's healthier for the server to spread players out across different maps and grids instead of the same locations.

Really. Is why you get disabled halfway between the islands?

Don't fly over buildings or structures. The mount NPC clearly states that; I advise reading. Don't fly over it, and you're fine.

Pretty crappy if we can't land on the thing...or fly through it. Also don't know what happened but I remember same faction duels were allowed on the structure. It would be nice if you enabled SAME faction duels on the structure again. Anyone who thinks dueling on that thing wouldn't be fun is a lame. What about putting a flight master on the structure and one in the gear mall so we have 3 waypoints to mount up? This way we could land on the building and mount up there once it disables us and go either way to the mall or battlemasters and have options to mount up there as well.

That structure isn't in its own zone or area, so we can't do that. Certain PvP flags can only be triggered on zones and areas, hence the reason the neutral dueling "area" since it's away from the mall. As for why it's dismounting you -- this is an old bug (well not really since you're not supposed to fly in Azeroth to begin with) but it's the way the map system is handling players when they enter a building, they're supposed to dismount, and apparently it doesn't know the height of when to stop for the buildings. The map systems are ancient and will never be upgraded since Trinity doesn't develop 2.4.3 anymore.
