Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

Do not hide behind your willful ignorance. It's time for another dissection.

One: you posted the wrong link...

Two: "Guildleves are small, rectangular plates made of stained crystal set into a frame of precious metal, each depicting a virtuous deed of one of Eorzea’s patron saints, also known as “guardians.” When issuing tasks or quests, guilds will often provide adventurers with these plates, allowing their bearers “leave” to take whatever steps necessary to complete the jobs, including entry into normally restricted areas, hunting or harvesting on private lands, the confiscation of goods, even negotiations with those considered enemies of the city-states. Guildleves also grant use of aetheryte portals, ensuring quick travel about the region."

The above is what you actually linked and if you read that it states "Guildleves also grant use of aetheryte portals, ensuring quick travel about the region." so one comes to the conclusion, to be granted use of the aetheryte portals one must be envoking a guild leve thus the ability to teleport.

Since you pointed out that you wanted me to read of aetheryte rather then the guild leves your link still does not explain how people can port all over the world from any great distance from aetheryte to aetheryte whenever. However what i did read tells of a restriction to it aka a leve must be envoked. Now we look at the game i can port at any time for any reason thus lore is not exactly lining up.

And need i bring up the "irreversible affects" on the body that aetheryte portals cause,yet everyone travels with no penalty.
