Can this menu be altered, after so many years of using Outpost teleport I'm used to just hitting up once to pay for the teleport with gil, but the way the menu is, hitting up once uses Conquest Points for the fee. I'm sure others have this issue too, can you please switch the CP to top option and gil below it.

Agreed. I've been wasting CP since this happened. Pre-set the cursor to gil.

wasting? what use does CP even have anymore? I love the fact that I don't have to waste gil on OP warps.

Buying cells for Void Watch. I've finally find a way to almost completely used up all the CP I have from long ago (~150k). It's great.

oh. Yea, I'm not gonna do logwatch until they make the drop system not completely retarded. That would explain why I forgot about that.

Logs and Ores (and Ingot too but who's counting all those useless crap that SE thinks are worth ppl's time). It's beyond sad the randomness of VW's drop. Nothing worst to see some mule getting ra/ex item on their 1st time while everyone else are like 150+ on the same NM. But we're going to be derailing this into a discussion of failwatch if we're not careful.

We can pay for teleports with conquest points now? I've really got to start paying attention.

please for the love of all that is good Don't do what the people in this thread are asking.. I, unlike them, Know that holding left takes you tot he top of the menu. And putting CP at the top would cause me the issues they're having now. They should just learn how to use menus

Never in all my years playing this game have I ever seen anyone refer to CP as "hard to come by".

Well.... If you leveled post ToAU release, odds are that you didn't make very much of it.

......don't date me, i'm not an old codger ; ; (also it was still easy to get if you had some friends, I actually remember doing a couple CP farming parties in Bibikibay at some point after wotg came out, lol)

Lol old codger. it's just that farming it is not nearly as easy as gil farming these days.

But then this would ruin it for me. =( I press left to go to the top of the list.

How about we make it default to this format:

Teleport using CP
Cancel
-->Teleport using gil

That way, I don't have to press anything, and you can still press left. Sound fair? :)

-->Teleport using gil
Teleport using CP
Cancel

I think having it the way it is now but just defaulting it to teleport using gil would be best. :D

Never in all my years playing this game have I ever seen anyone refer to CP as "hard to come by".The point is, you'd spent hours for a low CP return. Wherein those same hours you could plausibly make millions of gil. The difference is staggering.

I agree with the OP wholeheartedly.

CP also becomes hard to build up once you have all jobs leveled to 75+. Of course you could do high level GoV pages instead of abyssea, but it's pretty obvious where the vast majority of players exp their jobs.

This won't be the case much longer, they are concentrating on nerfing overpowered JA/WS atm but the ease with which gil can be made will be coming soon, along with heafty gil sinks.

Doesn't bother me one bit. I have nothing else to use CP on. Before you say anything about using it to make gil, the return is crap (even though it is arguably better than the rate you're getting with the outpost guys), and you have to wait for that stuff to sell, which very few CP items sell very easily anymore. I would rather use my CP than gil.

Edit: Pressing left on the menu will move the cursor to the top in a single keypress. There is no need to change this menu at all. This works on all similar menus such as the atma menu. The only place it doesn't work is on the mog house exit menu for some reason.



Gil is worthless, I can go anywhere and farm it very quickly. CP on the otehr had is conciderably harder to come by. CP is worthless. I can go anywhere and farm it very quickly. Gil on the other hand is considerably harder to come by.

Fixed that for you. Really, they're both easy and neither is worth complaining about though.

As there are players who prefer the current ordering of the outpost teleport menu as well as those that would like to see it change, I setup a poll to gauge the number of players favoring each.

Please head over to the poll thread (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/19808-Outpost-Teleport-Menu-Ordering?p=264705&viewfull=1#post264705) and cast your vote.

Camate,

Why aren't there MORE polls for game adjustments? The vote feature should be utilized more often imo.

You never played with many career RNG"s. My CP hit terrible lows due to shooting a few PPA's over the years.

dude, you DO realize you just opened pandora's box to every unconstructive troll out there who's now gonna chime in to say "since our response doesn't come from a japanese log in what's the point? they're not going to listen to us anyway." Grasping the idea that they might in fact BE listening but we are still outnumberred by non-english-speaking players is a bit beyond their reasoning capacities.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with having them ask for feedback via voting. People can still comment, cry, bitch, complain, praise, cheer or w/e they want to do below the pole results. Voting poles at the start of any development topic is good just to show and even clearer picture as to how the community feels about topics.

yeah, was just expressing my dislike of all the whiners that continually show up in these things. I like votes, just think they should lose the ability to comment on them, maybe 1 in 150 of the comments are constructive, the rest is just whining.

In this case you are the one whining. Here's your opportunity to answer another poll.

If you truly dislike all the nonconstructive / whining, don't post anymore in this thread.
If you are in fact one of the whiny nonconstructive posters, continue to whine.

Can you please specific how each region's voting would be weight? I foresee another BST jug issue here if this isn't clarified up front. That is, does each region's vote total has the same weight as another region's vote total regardless of the actual number of people who voted in those region?

I think many of us wants to know before we ended up wasting our time AGAIN.

my response.... wow you don't know how to read your options before selecting one? you chose the wrong game to play.
