Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Azurymber]

I have a GPS in my car. That ruins my sense of immersion in the real world.

it ruins my sense too :x nothing beats a good old fashioned giant map in your windshield ^^

and the mini map thing is more like theres no reason to really go off the path most of the time so instead of watching the pretty world they made and spent hours on when you run from place to place you watching a line denoting a path on the minimap

this would -easily- be fixed by implementing agro mobs so people would actually have to watch the game and not the map.
