I still like much more the idea that Waypoint runes should be added to camps. At least from story perspective it would make much more sense than walking somewhere ... then being exhausted from that travel ... and therefore start walking back to rest.
Our characters litteraly walk less than 10min to go from the beach to the arcane tower. Heroes are not exhausted after walking 10 minutes and clilmbing 2 ladders.
But ofc you like it better. Not surprising at all whatever the "arguments".
