Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

Yes, its not cheating like the post your referencing says but its still a bummer.

Entering a new zone should be
1. exciting
2. scary
3. adventurous

In XIV currently its not.

These all depend on the player. I walked to Mor Dhona and tried to get all the Aetherytes at R15. All of the above were present when attempting to achieve that goal. Your point has been nullified.

Yep.

You can't possibly tell me you didn't think it was at least a *little* cool the first time you saw the Keeper of the Lake in Mor Dhona.
