Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

They removed the cap? As in, you can go in and faceroll the place with your level 75/100/whatever char?
I quit playing just before they released Abysea, and at that time it still hobbled you at level 30.

I saw people shouting for parties for hours, then they'd disappear, come back an hour later, and start shouting again, presumable because they lost.

Abyssea killed all the adventure in FFXI and easymoded everything. And the game died. go figure.
