I need to vent (VERY long)

Define "activate on receipt", because if you mean what I think you mean, then it's a horrible idea because you would then have no way to efficiently manage leve-linking in party.

Why would there be no way to efficiently manage leve-linking? I have only leve linked a few times so do you mind explaining how it would be a problem?

while it doesn't allow you to teleport to every location on the map, it does allow you to teleport to almost every meaningful location on the map. One would seldom ever have to travel far on foot outside of gathering if teleportation is free.

There are fewmeaningful locations and these locations are dramatically dwarfed by the overall size of the game world. Free teleporting would not eliminate the need to travel for there is still 95% of the world that is inaccessible via direct teleportation.
