The Rebel Camp in northern Stranglethorn Vale will be getting a flight path in patch 2.3, according to Eyonix.Currently, the Alliance's closest flight path to their first quest area in STV is Darkshire or Sentinel Hill.
This change along with the leveling improvements will make Alliance questing in the 30s and early 40s much easier once the patch is released.
Hopefully, Eyonix wasn't just teasing as he was here:
Hogger is becoming a level 73 outdoor raid boss. His loot will remain the same, I'm afraid.
That would make Elwynn Forest just a little bit more interesting.
If you are anxious to play with all of the new goodies, Bornakk says that patch 2.3 will be coming soon to the Public Test Realms.

If Hogger became elite, then I envision a 40 man raid of newbies taking him down. Hopefully the experience gain has been changed befitting an elite.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHH! AHHH!
@3 Hogger is already an elite...just not a lvl 73 elite. And also, there are already videos of lvl 1 taking him on.

Just chiming in to agree with what others have said... about time! That makes STV a little bit more desirable, particularly the quests in the northern part of the zone which without a mount require alot of running from either Darkshire or Sent Hill... or /cringe Booty Bay.

When I was running that zone I was also saving for my mount and I got so tired of running from SW all the way to BB for turnin and then back to the Rebel Camp or Hunting Camp. I still don't know if I would fly, but having the fp there will greatly improve the zone.

I always wondered why there wasn't a flight path there.
However, this will make it oh-so much easier for Alliance to camp nessingwary even more than they already do. Just wonderful.

WoW Insider should do a post on all the other annoyances in the game that need fixing!

As awesome as this is, this will have some negative effects.
Everybody had to trudge through the giant STV in their thirties, walking everywhere. This was probably done so that when you get your mount at 40, you appreciate it more.
Either way, I'm actually JEALOUS of the changes and how I'm too high of a level for them. Oh well ;)

@11
The barrens, still a chore. :P
Anyway, the value of a non-epic land mount is a lot less than it was, I guess blizzard wants more people at endgame to access the good content easier, once wotlk comes out, it's gonna be an issue about rolling alts when you have a death knight option already at lv5x right off the bat, these moves are probably the first few steps of a solution.

Lol, there are like 3 panthers in that area in the ravine that will pwn all. I hope they keep them.

About F'ing TIME! I've lamented that since first hitting STV way back in the day. I think it's part of the reason STV has been disliked by so many.

After I just got an alt through there... but I have another alliance alt coming up, so I guess it'll help her.
And you know, I think there should be an instance with gnolls in it, with one giant hard one with the subtitle .
