My thought was that you'd walk to a waypoint and have to verbally request the waypoint you wanted. So you're likely to only know the waypoints you've been to unless you go buy an asuran directory from whatever krewe maintains them. We kinda got that with that gemstore item that unlocks all waypoints in a region for you. Also, the reason the normal gates aren't gone despite the waypoints is because gates are more stable and can be used to transport larger objects. So you can ship merchandise by asura gate, but not by waypoint. It's also stated by NPCs that both means of transport cost money, not just the waypoints. While gate operators charge people using the gates, my question would be how the asura are getting your money from using the waypoint network. Maybe they mail you a bill?
