Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[weeble]

not sure how elitism aroused from the teleport threat but heres my take on it, i'm not elitist in any way but.. it's like a joke some comedian i think said on his stand up. women can't move backwards, u can have a little apartment, u can move to a home, or then bigger one. but they refuse to move backwards in life. generally this is probably me in mmo's,

i don't level my brd in 2-3months so that i can merit for low amounts of merit per hour. or not have a brd if i go other class. i don't need to move backwards and it still be harder to do. u get good gear u kinda want people with good gear or that gear don't matter. even food, u eat food, no one else does...what is point of u eating it.

lets say for transport sakes, if everyone jumps on a chocobo to reach party camp, and only 1 person desides to walk ...everyone just waisted 1 there gils on choco or time on raising a choco, or time period waiting for them. it's all to that same effect and i don't blame people for wanting to be at same levels. also it shouldn't matter to others, if i pick my drg to level i make my own pt or don't complain with all the other drg's in my group. the attitude i think people see is manifest from them being the ones being pushed aside when u shouldn't get mad at these things. some people have little time and try to do as much as possible in that time, some play so much they can't possibly want to deal with the same issues all day. if they really douchbags is one thing, but for wanting a little more out of there gameplay cause they been there then i think most need get over it.
