Collision Course Detected!

You should do #1. Also, in the future you should just ask for "Likes for 1" to save yourself the effort it would take the count these.

Or add a voting system to the forums.

In any case, voting for #1.

On the test server, if a character does not move for 30 seconds, their collision will be removed. This served as the base of our idea, but we realized there was some feedback that was against this. With that said, we would like to hear you feedback so we can make a decision on how to address this new system.

Please choose from the following options:

1. Implement the collision settings that are currently on the Test Server and continue to make adjustments as necessary based on feedback post-implementation.
2. Keep it as is and do not implement it in the next version update.

If everyone feels there is no need to rush, option 2 would make it possible to make careful adjustments, including different plans. However, this would ultimately make the players who wanted these adjustments to wait for a while since the priority would drop a bit due to the backlog of other requested client adjustments.

Please let us know which you prefer!

You have left the best option out: completely removing collision detection. :( I guess for now implementing whatever you managed to code is less terrible option, while you are figuring out how to completly remove it, I'd say.

Not that I know for sure, but I would guess that removing collision from a person who is standing still allows others to pass through, but removing it from a moving person would allow them to walk through walls etc.

I vote#1 get it done already, make it work, revise it on next update if the current one is still not quite satisfactory. Faster, snappier, more convenient game that is not bogged down by inane time sink.

I vote #1.

What would be better tho, imo,is to just remove player to player collision 100% while in non-combat zones(IE-Towns, airships, etc.).

they would be coded to react differently to characters/NPC/mobs than with enviroment. And i believe i remember a rep saying that the only reason they wont remove it entirely is because it would harm immersion... but in this case i think convenience trumps immersion, if it was truly realistic then we couldn't even walk through people after bumping into them for a couple seconds... it was removed entirely in XIV and i think it worked out great

so anyway, that puts my vote on #1, with a hope that it will just be removed down the line

1. 30 seconds is fine, 90% of the reason why people want this is because of people bazaaring or afk for hours in Jeuno.

I Vote the #1 option

1, but I'd rather it removed entirely.
A lot of people will be doing that anyways, if you know what I mean.
