Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Quanta]

I do not stop you from traveling slowly and becoming immersed in your slow travel when I travel fast.

The issue arises when they want groups. The fear is that the majority of people will always take the fast travel option when it presents itself, and will scoff at or party kick someone who would rather take the long way. In other words, once they're on borrowed time, they lose their choice to peer pressure; on their own time, they're perfectly fine.
