I think map traveling is an important feature to add, because no one wants to spend all their time running back and forth between capitol cities for only a couple of objectives.

However, there are parts of the game where clusters of 4 or 5 waypoints are almost right next to each other, and I think it really robs players of being able to experience the awesome world that has been built.

I think a lot of maps should have zero waypoints, and most of the fast traveling should be done when going to cities, or places like Fort Trinity.

It would provide a much more immersive experience if I had to run to most places, at least when exploring a place like Diessa Plateau. Having to run places would make me feel more “in” that world, rather than being on a computer. In my opinion, the less time a player spend in menus and maps, the more alive that world will feel.

So you don’t want players to use waypoints because it ruins immersion… What if people don’t care too much about immersion, especially when they’re hopping between world bosses for loot? You’re damaging their play experience when you can satisfy your need for immersion by simply not using waypoints.

I like how if I want to hit a specific boss, event, NPC or even help a friend, I don’t need to spend half the time running there.

So you want the entire world to be like Orr, or WvW for that matter, where if you die you have to run back from halfway across the zone to get back? I’ll pass, thanks.

But I like running back, group of 15 see me as an easy kill, dodge evade for half the map right into my waiting guild of 30
