Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Rhomagus]

I see because you stated they were not troll posts that must be true!

You stated that you did not post to incite negative responses yet you then say Mechanics > Immersion, which illuminates your true feelings on the topicYes it does. Which is why I said it. The original topic is about immersion being destroyed by game mechanics and I personally believe game mechanics, specifically those tied to accessibility for large demographics, trumps immersion because immersion is ultimately a personal endeavor.. you then continue with "It's semantics that have nothing to do with the design philosophy of accessibility and whether or not that should be diminished arbitrarily." which does nothing more but attempt to subject my opinion to nothing more then semanticsIt subjects the argument, not the opinion..

and i still say your star trek analogy does not applyI can understand the disagreement. It's wrong, but okay. nothing snarkyThis post no. That post yes. about that just a disagreement.

agree to disagree on this topic i have no problem discussing others either.

Ya they really aren't troll posts. It's not because I say they aren't it's because they just aren't. We must have a different definition of troll. I'm not trying to instigate aggression. I call out the arguments, not the people. If the argument was one of semantics then that is what it is. I try not to leave room for interpretation and when arguments get down to that there's nowhere to go. I legitimately disagree, I'm not just disagreeing just to disagree. I actually prefer to be proven wrong. I'm no stranger to being humbled. It just hasn't happened in this thread yet is all.

I'd also rather discuss the intended topic at hand rather than just some random topic. I apologize if that's how that came across, but I won't be staying on after this as it is late over here an I should be getting some sleep, but I do pick up from posts where I left off.
