I mean, getting to Feathermoon from Auberdine on foot? Are you kidding? That's enough time to do a tribute run. Maybe even enough to do a baron run with a really efficient group. I always felt like the world flowed together really well, and even more so after I read the histories and had a better sense of the different zones.
The thing that makes WoW "unreal" to me is the fact that nothing in the game changes. The game world renews itself every few minutes and really renews itself once a week. Everyone does the same quests for the same people and the same "unique" monsters get killed over and over again. Before anyone jumps on me, I understand that it's not possible to have a videogame in which this isn't the case, but it just throws me out of the world when I think about it like that.
The 60 loot grind is a real bitch, too.
Whatever, I'm still having fun.

If Monty Python were still together as a group doing what they do best, I know that they would do lots of takes on WoW ala Holy Grail and the "mechanical" nature of the quests.
I hate the traveling aspect of it, mounts or gryphs it's still such a long time to get from place to place, and maps aren't any help since each one is is it's own scale. I don't have infinite game time. I have plenty of other interests that take me outside of the house.
What I do like is that I can play with my wife and best friend who lives in LA.... and as time has come on... I've got 2 other old coworkers that have also jumped on as well.
