Not all of us have gratuitous amounts of time to invest in rp. If it means I can play the scene I want to rather than unplanned, uneventful travel rp, I'll take it. I really, really don't want to disrespect others' time. Spontaneity is indeed cool, but what makes it spontaneous is that it's unplanned and unexpected. The rest of the time, you're walking or riding somewhere.
It does feel like a cop out when it's used heavily though. I can understand it being used for emergencies but it's always a shame when people seem to want to skip through any and all travel in favour of instantly arriving at their chosen destination.
Yeah, claiming that a few days passed between heading from one location to another works well. It's a route I tend to favour as well. It's convenient without the baggage that comes with 'lol went 2 costa then caem bakk to go 2 uldah shopz then tele 2 ishgard' all within the space of an hour.
