The entire game is not going to be local trips and city runs. Someday, probably endgame, we're going to need to go instantly from a city to an open field aether across the world and we're gonna need to get there in time to claim an NM or not hold up our linkshell.

The whole abolish anima argument is so embarrassingly short sighted.

Frankly, nobody's going to give a flying f**k about immersion when there's claim, loot, placement, entry, and 7+ other people's time on the line.
