How was her comment condescending? She's not exactly wrong with her statement for I found it quite a journey walking from place to place for the first time getting chased by mobs until I found an aetheryte to attune to. Just because it wasn't immersive enough for you doesn't mean it wasn't for others. Kind of like what you are telling others that don't agree with you.


Let me bring this up. You say immersive value is lost upon teleport spam, but the same can be said for just walking through the same area dozens of times, which is what people complain about with the dungeon grind; there's nothing of value to stop for, so why go slowly in places you already got immersed in?
