This is intended to be an interactive game.
Yes, and also playable for different levels of activity.
It can help less active characters to catch up with their army or stay out of danger.
On the other hand I also believe realms have to find ways to adjust to less active players not the other way around.
Usually the problem is the way armies/realms are managed.
Either way, it can be very helpful for players who play on lower gear.
Besides I don't think it would limit interaction between players significantly, other factors have far more influence.
They might miss possible guilds or temples in the region, but they still get most of their interaction at their destination or point of departure anyway.
