Immersion.

To me it's Immersion-Breaking when Players spam portals.

For instance, I ran with a group that used Valheim+ and would Spam Portals (Everyone would carry supplies for 1 Portal).

Found an Ore Node you want? Place portal, 6 people port through gathering and stripping the land of everything useful leaving it a barren waste devoid of Rocks or Trees.

Hard mob? Place Portal, wipe the land.

The portals made playing and experiencing the game minute and trivial so much so that in 6 days we were all equipped with Padded Armor and Blackmetal Weapons. Our base looked like garbage but had everything needed. There was no base planning or care for how the base looked. The entire game just because a massive Loot Gather with nothing remarkable.

Our chests were just a hodgepodge of stacked clutter. (Because of the mod no organization was needed, everything was drawn from the chests automatically).

No one took in the "sights". Sailing was very much pointless (we only sailed when necessary), same with running by foot.

After two weeks there was nothing left to do and everyone quit playing. It wasn't fun at all because it was all Rush-This;Skip-That.
