Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Konachibi]

DNO, just because "your allowing me" to keep the option, doesn't mean it's not breaking my immersion. It's taking my option to be immersed when you make traveling on an airship optional. I explained it already.

Are you understanding me though? I mean really? Cause it does feel like I'm wasting my time now. Especially since out of all the transportation threads created, not one dev has intervened. lol that sucks

Wanna know why devs don't respond?

Because they read this and laugh loudly saying:
"Why is this person asking us to remove EVERYTHING we're trying hard to put into the game, that has been asked for, for the sake of immersion when every other MMO already has it and they never get some whiney person griping that their mini-map/mount/transport/shoes/banana/hat/low crafting skill/fishing pole is ruining the games immersion?"

THIS is why they do not post in here.

If you want immersion, go dive into a swimming pool.

Hey, I'm not asking to remove everything....

and I can't swim. I don't want to be immersed in death.

Edit:
Ya know what fudge this!

I really hope pvp is implemented, i can't wait for it.

I got a list of people who arses I'm going to put my name on. :P

Since you were semi-nice Konata, I'll make you last.

You keep asking for immersion though. Easiest way to immerse yourself is in water.

You do keep asking for things to be removed though, there is a middle ground to this, it's called 'toggle options'. People who want to keep something for the purpose of practicality or usefullness want some of these things.
People who want to look at a screen without a tonne of clutter can turn them off.
Heck what'd be easier is if they made a simple toggle that turned off the entire UI so you couldn't see anything, no health bar, no mp bar, no mini-map, no action bar, nothing at all, just your character and your surroundings. Would that make you happy then? (and sorry if I sound aggressive typing that, I've got a half-rolled cigarette infront of me demanding I finish rolling it )

There actually is a button for that.

Does that mean all swimming pools should be emptied?

I hope they make it cross server. That's a different thread though.

It will do you no good.

I'm pretty sure they won't allow PvP fights inside the weavers guild, and if I weren't in there you'd have a real hard job finding me. See, I like to explore, so I know lots of little nifty areas I can hide in that lots of people don't even know exists.

Pretty sure I could pick a cave out of the list of about... 20 to 30 caves I know of throughout Thanalan and La Noscea and hide in one of those... and did a bit of weaving.

As it is, for the active explorer, this world is pretty immersive.

Comeon Kona... If I'm willing to wait on an airship what makes you think i won't use my time to look for you in caves? Lol

Because... maybe I'll weave myself a black outfit and hide in the shadow in a cave, then you couldn't spot me, mwahahaha!

Unless you spotted my name flaoting above my head, but you'd have that switched off, 'cos it ruins the immersion.
