because, as creatures from other worlds, they may react like Shadowspawn. A mess and an embarrassment all at the same time.
Q: Why can't Shadowspawn pass through gateways?
RJ: It's because they're artificial constructs. They can't tolerate the passage.
Q: So would a Nym have the same problem?
RJ: Yes.
Q: How about Ogier?
RJ: No. Ogier are not artificial constructs.
Being from another world is not enough. Only artificial constructs die. I am pretty sure the creatures used by the Seanchan are real, even if they are from another world(like the Ogier).
It makes me wonder are they real or constructs? If they are real why are they nowhere to be seen in the "main" world? I'm pretty sure somewhere along the road RJ explained that these creatures were brought over by AS from mirror worlds. Perhaps they were created by AS of a mirror worlds much like Trollocs were in the "main" one... no way to know for sure.

While Traveling is certainly a tactical advantage, I think the Seanchan won't be able to use it.
