    I do, a lot actually, and part of that immersion is accepting that in Eorzea teleportation is a thing, but not everyone can use it because not everyone is strong enough to go through the aether plane.

    Accepting game mechanics that have an in-game explanation and enjoying them is immersion, trying to make the game work like the real world isn't.

    This too.
    I can also accept this Dannythm. However, it was the same exact case in 1.0. Except those of us who had the ability to travel through teleportation had a thing called "Anima" that needed to be recharged over time due to "fatigue" of teleporting this way. Now we just pay gil to endlessly teleport.

    Tedium? Isn't it part of an RPG to TRAVERSE these worlds? All the work the team put into these lands...all the detail in the remote places...and they're skipped 80% of the time because people just want to constantly teleport. This is literally why the sightseeing log was implemented. And yes, to each their own, but I just feel that I explored XI more than I do in XIV, even when I decide to walk. But what can you do.

    Like I said, I think we should have just stuck with Anima. But this is an argument long past, and I don't entirely care to repeat it.

    You should do more quests, I guess
    Or play more DoL classes
