I love fast travel, warp gates, teleporting and anything that makes it easier and faster for me to get from Point A to Point B.
"Scenery is pretty." Don't care.
"Look at the extra content." I'll look if I want to. Don't force it.
While I enjoy casual and relaxed games, taking forever to walk to where I want to go is neither casual nor relaxed. I wanna be where I wanna be in game and don't pad on the gameplay hours with slow transport options.
And to add on to that, let crafting access your stash with everything in it. Don't make me carry 10k iron to the blacksmith to craft the sword then 20 gems to the magician to enchant it or some nonsense, especially when there are inventory limits. I have it, it's in my storage, let me use it.
