Perhaps not. But I prefer a broad sandbox where you can make your own fun to a rigid system that forces you into conditions you don't enjoy.

Not everyone likes crafting, but I don't see a lot of people demanding that the crafting be taken out of the game because they don't like it. They just choose to do other things and leave the crafters to do their thing.

Likewise, I just don't see why being forced to take longer travel times is so important or even necessary. For those whom it is important, they have the option to do their thing, and they should just leave other people who want to travel faster to do their thing. People who want to play the game to group up with their friends in a timely manner should be allowed to do it as long as it doesn't impede those who want to go slower (and, frankly, it doesn't impede them at all).
