Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Crica]

"When SE created abysea in FF11 they said "o hey guys abysea wont ruin anything because people can still choose to experience the old content". well guess what it did ruin FF11, by creating content that is so drastically different and "easy access" that makes old content obsolete, you pigonhole people into having to use the new content. In reality by introducing all of this new instant gratification content all old content and immersion is becoming obsolete thus forcing people to use said new instant gratification while masking its true cause by saying "were giving you the option to choose".

this applies to most content that allows the easy way out.

Sorry, are you trying to say that you no longer enjoy traveling slow simply because there is an option to travel fast?

If so, I can't help you there.

I like chocolate chip cookies.

If there was an option to eat oatmeal cookies, that would not nullify my enjoyment of chocolate chip cookies - I would still enjoy chocolate chip cookies the exact same as I did before I discovered oatmeal cookies.

If I found I enjoyed oatmeal cookies as well, I would try to leave room to eat them as well, but that would not detract from my enjoyment of chocolate chip cookies!
