Well teleporting yes or no.
I think teleporting is very good thing. It's true makes the game little less dangerous and trade go faster. ( if you don't choose some random traders with sword in their hand )
If there will be no teleporting well we would ask neighbours for some stuff. I think then would be more area traders. And all traders would move their carts wagons in that village in area which would be most advanced and willing to trade. It would be fun to see more people going in one directon for 1 reason. But there would be probably more raids on the way and people would lost a lot. Wagon or cart full of stuff ( i wouldn't go to trade which take me a few real hours for only 1 thing ) their char. Anway here i see one other problem or advantage. Little people around this trading center in their area would say: "how are we stupid we trading for months why not all get together and destroy this traders place". I think every thing has their advantages and disadvantages.
Jorb an Loftar will decide which is better on this matter

p.s. I am happy with teleporting - would be a problem if they would cancel it? I love HNH so if they change little things like that I will be here

I would hate to see HNH become completely different game like i hear about some big changes and so on.
