What's the reasoning behind the gold cost on wayshrines?

To keep you from using it to get out of sticky situations. Also it's a small gold sink.

Intentional design to keep people from porting all over the place quickly. (☉ ͜ʖ☉)

There is NO cost on using wayshrines.

Recalling to a wayshrine while not being near enough to use one does cost. If you're getting a gold cost to use a wayshrine, try going a lot closer until you get the prompt to use it.

Any form of instant teleportation makes the world seem smaller. The fee is a small way to counteract that.

Probably so that players have to explore a little more outside of just discovering wayshrines.

It also prevents players from hogging Dolmens.

Just travel to a guildy for free.
