I agree.
Some people will have to complete the entire map to get legendary items so even if people don’t run around anymore, people are still going to have to explore.
Maybe not totally free but 3 to 4 silver to get to your main city from a level 80 instance is ridiculous.
Additionally, it’s kind of malicious from their part to make you HAVE TO visit a trading post to get your items/money and making you pay the same amount that you paid for said item to get there in the first place.
