Lately I've been tempted to completely drop "Aetheryte Travel" from my canon. I've been RPing with a group that takes physical location pretty seriously and I've been enjoying how it makes the world feel bigger and make faraway locations actually feel far away. I realize teleporting is referred to in the MSQ but I don't like the idea so I just want to remove it from my own headcanon.
Anyone else feel the same way? What is the general consensus? Anyone tried this and found it made life difficult for them?
[Edit]
For the benefit of new replies who aren't reading the entire thread, Sin's post has already convinced me to take more of a middle ground here, but I'm still interested in comments on the practical problems created by teleportation and how player characters cope with those.
I changed the subject line of this post to reflect that also. Not quite going to completely disregard teleportation in RP but I'm also going to accept other reasons not to use it frivolously and not to take it lightly.
I also didn't mean to imply that I would refuse to acknowledge other people teleporting, I was just wanting to try to remove it from my own RP and that still seems feasible given that most characters I've RPed with simply don't really talk about it all that much and seem happy to just resort to alternative means.
