I wonder if I should be surprised that so many people are having such a hard time understanding that not everyone in the world feels the same way they do. The amount of silly arguing and logical fallacies in this thread is ridiculous.

In a case like this, taking away teleportation makes one side happy, and completely removes the other's ideal method of play. Leaving it in allows both sides to continue playing in a way that they desire, since those against teleporting retain the right to walk. The argument for teleportation is requesting a convenient way to play. The argument against teleportation ends up inconveniencing or punishing others who play for different reasons.
