How do they even all fit in there?

Also, just yesterday I ran from Ithilien through Cair Andros, past the gates of Edoras, threw a quick wave to Isengard and before I could even blink I was on a ship leaving Grey Havens with seconds to spare. All of that in less than five seconds flat.

So... should we be able to do this or should there be some restriction?

Ah, yes - the joys of changing the hearts of others. In order to gain entry into the dreaded Minas Morgul to help a wicked Warden, a warrior of repute, heart of gold and will of steel, had but to mass-murder every woman and child he could track down, repeatedly, to taint himself appropriately. News spread quickly of his ill deeds, the guards let him in and in the end, the Warden was pleased. Within a couple hours of mass murdering Haradrim children and Dunlending scouts as penance, the world was now righted, his heart pure as ever and the repeatedly murdered women and babies re-appeared, as if by magic, fully unaware of the horrors that befell them earlier that day.

Sorry for the theatrics, but bro.. It's a game! A game you've played on and off for decades!
You gonna mess it up by bringing reality into it? Now?

[Alorrana]

Sure its a game. Im down with that.

Was just asking. It just always struck me as a bit off.

And yes we can speed walk and have magic backpacks.
