Nerfing Hyper Tele Rocks.
"Theme Dungeons" I can sort of understand, although it really isn't that hard to put in a check, and let a character tele in only if they've done quest <questID>. But they also block maps outside the dungeon. Why can't we tele to Desolate Moor? It's a bloody "town", for crying out loud. And we also can't tele to the map outside Mushroom Kingdom. Funny thing is, you can tele into Zombie Mushmom Hill, a "boss map", but you can't tele into the ordinary Ghost Mushroom Forest right next to it.
Zipangu/Showa? Why can't I tele to Showa town, a perfectly normal map with no entry requirements? It used to work. They even put it in the marketing copy for the hyper rocks. And then they removed the possibility.
Nautilus? Why can't I tele into the Nautilus? It used to work, I remember going directly to Kyrin's office. And then they removed the option, for absolutely no reason.
Seriously, that's the most incomprehensible one. It doesn't gain them money. It doesn't prevent circumventing quests because there are no quests required to enter Nautilus or most of the rooms in it. It doesn't prevent software messups with return maps (like, let's say, could happen if you tele to Zipangu and then ask Spinel to "return" you where you were). It just has no reason whatsoever.
