Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

Who was pulling from WoW?

You guy want stuff simple and easy to come across like WoW, travel included. I've said my peice and I'll leave it at that both sides are at a impass really so I'll just let it slide.

neither of us are "Convincing" the other or anyone else. Neither am I trying to convince you because that would be pointless, thats like trying to talk to a brick wall you have your opinion and I have mine. Your arguements are as silly to me as mine are to you.

To me it's not about logistics or making sense, hell not even really the immersion. It's having substantial content thats worth earning. It may be we don't know enough about the airship yet but it just seems like a cop-out for SE to run around present issues instead of fixing them. Such fast transportation shouldn't exist in MMO's without a heavy cost. In my opinion people have been spoiled by anima and now just expect things to play like a series of instanced areas.

I want a vast world with millions of places to explore, I don't want to walk for the sake of walking. I want to walk because I never know what lies around the next corner, I want a sense of adventure, I want to feel like the world was created to be a world not a series of areas I warp from at a snap of my fingers. People look at MMO's far too often like "Work" and thats what all these min/max time consumers are doing, they want to get the most work done in the least ammount of time possible.

Whats fun about that? I'll never know, you need to accept that there are others who don't share your viewpoint. Fast-travel is just a small part of the larger issue that is at hand and pretending like it's not going to effect the entire way the game developes is just being naive.

Way to support the team, maybe next time you will deem yourself worthy of actually thinking instead of quoting.
