Leaving anima in the game is not stupid or does not make the alternative methods of traveling useless. If you personally hate teleporting then simply STOP TELEPORTING. Its that simple. No one should dictate how or when someone should teleport because quite frankly that is none of your concern. If you feel that it would ruin the game because someone else is enjoying the luxury of teleporting then you need to re-evaluate yourself.
While I agree it's wrong to dictate what others do, I'm thinking more about the game it's self rather than myself. I make games for a living, so it's not like I'm completely clueless about how games work and what they should and should not have.

And while I wish you were right in saying that if you don't like teleporting, then don't use it, but this is not how the human mind works (unfortunately) so as logical as it may sound, it doesn't work that way. Teleporting is there, and knowing this makes walking travelling the old fashioned way seem less of an achievement.

Let me run this through you; you're meeting up with some friends in a land far away from you, to start an epic quest. You set out on your way, you run into some trouble, aggros and such that you fight off bravely, then you set out, you discover new scenery that you never knew about before, and it's something you'll have to come back to later to find out about, because your friends are awaiting your arrival. So you continue on down the path and eventually you get there. You say hello to your friends, then tell them about your adventure on the way, about how your fought off wild beasts with your might, and how you made pretty good time to get here so fast. At this point, one of your friends say to you "k, you shoulda teleported here, woulda been less hassle". How do you feel then? like all of what you just achieved is now pointless?
