Different strokes for different folks.
Some people like the large, expansive world where getting to the capital city feels like an accomplishment and revisiting lowbie areas is a chore that few undertake (think FFXI).
Others like instant travel to any place they've ever traveled before (GW).
And, still others, seek some sort of balance (WoW does a good job of this).
I hate to say it, but, if you don't like the game, don't play it. I've played each of the games I've mentioned and have stopped playing each in turn, but I cannot say that travel time had anything to do with it (although, that was pretty annoying in FFXI).
