Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Azurymber]

Okay, never read that, but then what is the point of this thread? If you have a choice and are worried about you precious immersion, then choose to not skip. It's really that simple.

read 2 threads above yours. This is an -M M O- not diablo. The journey, even if its repetitive, is part of an MMO. Once you instant-port everything, the wonder of the world dissappears. Now no offence to FFXIV but they definately aren't winning people over with their battle system, so the "wonder of the world" or put another way "the classic FF world feel" is important.
