Yeah, maybe respawn is a simple delay based on the rank of the spawn location but teleporation requires a queue.
Like maybe you need to build a Wizard Tower anywhere you want to teleport to and then you can teleport between towers, but the "recharge rate" depends on the lowest rank of the two towers. A rank 1 tower can teleport one person every 30 seconds. A rank 5 tower can teleport 5 people every 30 seconds. A rank 10 tower can teleport 10 people every 10 seconds.
Something like that.
So 10 people in 10 villages trying to teleport to a mining outpost with a rank 1 wizard tower would require 5 minutes to all get there. Whoever queues up first goes instantly. The next person is waiting for the receiving tower to do its 30 second recharge.
Plus, wizard towers are probably resource hogs (and also, you need a spare wizard NPC to man it) so it may not be practical to just plop one down everywhere you want.
