There is absolutely nothing "horrible" about this, or you are calling me horrible for doing this as well. I frankly wouldn't even consider it a confession... It's just common sense that should be in every good roleplayer. Roleplaying is acting, it's writing a script, it's directing your own movie. If a movie character you were watching suddenly moved to point A to point B without reason whatsoever, wouldn't you yell "WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING THERE NOW?!" at the screen? I know I would.
So yeah, don't be ashamed of that, it's a good trait.
Well, the usual response I get is to just BS a reason why the character would be way over there. Or not even worry about a reason and just toss them there regardless. Not to mention there's others who will do stuff like that and have their characters suddenly in the middle of Coerthas to get that sweet-sweet RP I desire so much. So it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong, at least, by being so stringent on where my characters are and where they could be.
