After all Luclin is just another continent.
The ship really should have a small ticket fee (would also be fine with a single lifetime charge to always use it). Never understood why it didn't, there's even a sign for tickets at the dock. It should also be noted that traveling via boat and a special magical portal place are pretty different.

Luclin isn't just another continent, it's a whole other world. They definitely made it feel like just another random place with the way they implemented it though, which is part of why it felt so wrong. Vah Shir wouldn't be forced to stay there until level 30 without the Nexus, there's always Wizard and Druid ports (which also can be said of getting there), and I'm perfectly fine with making it more difficult for low level characters to travel. It's important to maintain the ecosystems of those starting areas, not just have everyone rushing off to a place like Paludal.
