Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Jobeto-Rin]

You read it wrong, the road less traveled is actually the less convenient one. Nature follows the path of least resistance. In essence, the metaphor here applies to the immersionist not the person wanting convenience.



AFK on an airship involves me how again?



I've read your second post and agree with you in some aspects, if only a few. I've edited them accordingly in my response to reflect a fair compromise and the philosophies I too would like implemented.



Absolutely disagree with you on this, and I think the disclaimer that you accept before playing every time would also like a word with you. Dumping a girlfriend, skipping work, forgetting your schoolwork is "making" time for an MMO. I play an MMO in my "downtime". I don't "make time" for it. That's absolutely ridiculous and is at the very crux of our philosophical argument here.

I'm not sure I understand the ridiculousness of setting aside time to play a game, that should be immersive and involve time in the first place.

I think your forgetting MMO's are supposed to be another world to be involved in, a game in which you can temporarily forget about other issues. Which is the point of the disclaimer, don't forget RL.

Now MMO's are just another game to be played and rushed through.
