Teleport kills immersion

It depends on your definition of "content".

To me the story is content and the game is worthless without it. Thus why I really can't hold my view on others. The story and lore make up alot of the game but as far as " playable content" you miss nothing by skipping it. I how ever play specifically for the story and everything else is bussy(sic) work till new story patches are added.

I prefer to make my own story; that is my game, my immersion,and imo it is better than anything SE is putting out. With something as large as this MMO, by default everything has to be over explained so no one hops on to the forums to debate or holler for questions answered( oh.. wait...), which is why the big banger epics like Game of Thrones and /shudder Lord of the Rings hold no appeal to me, way too much talking going on. I'm more incline to read works by Robert E. Howard or Clark Ashton Smith, the style that leaves open ended atmospheres allowing the reader to fill in their own blanks, or not at all and it takes nothing away from the story. Like this Aetheryte debate; they're there and that's enough for me. I guess They've been explained but I'm content in just knowing they exist, and I can use them. The how to and where from is unimportant in the sense that a little magic and mystery is what makes fantasy for me.

As anyone else would, i have my opinions on the travel system but i am interested on peoples thoughts. Would you like more teleport locations or return to a more FFXI-esque system with limited teleportation using instead boats/airships for travel between regions.

While I agree with this statement, it is completely voluntary. There are times when I have purposely avoided it. Overall i think the compromise of large open areas with a single teleport location is a good balance. I would argue if they incentivized traveling in someway people would be less likely to tele unless necessary. Currently there is very little reason to explore in this game.

My friend thought the same thing as OP except he literally couldn't play the game after that and just quit. It doesn't bother me too much I think.

snipza.

An excellent way to play as well. Sounds like you either are, or would make, one heck of an RPer.
