Then we can go ahead and delete all the other areas since there's no longer any reason to go through them anymore.
    Nice try but asking for convenient warps isnt equal to teleporting wherever you want.

    Having to spend 15mins walking around Giddeus cause Balga's Dais has a dumb exit is bad design, period.

    If you correct someone on their spelling, do it right. It's synchronization.

    The RL card, as little as I like to use it, is relevant though. Time sinks are the thing that keeps me and many people I know off this game the most. The sole challenge of this game should lie in exploring and fighting, not repetition. Getting through Beaucedine Glacier to Xarcabard and then to Castle Zvahl in the past was an actual challenge, learning how to get around, avoiding/fighting mobs, etc. However, I don't wanna have to do that every time I go there, because after a while it's no challenge anymore. I know to look out for true sight mobs and Amphipteres, I know where they are. After a while it stops being a challenge and starts being annoying. And SE obviously agrees with me, hence the warps to those zones after you've been there once. Same with OP warps, Horst warps, even Chocobos and Airships, hell even warp items like Tidal Talisman or teleport earrings, or even teleports themselves. All of those need something before you can use them first, do a supplies quest, be in the zone before, get the teleport gate crystal, etc. After you do that, you can get there easily. And it should be the same with this. Because there's absolutely no challenge in running for half an hour through Palborough Mines or Yughott Grotto, it's just annoying.
    Well I didn't make any direct fag attacks on a person, they have made the game a lot simpler, And as old as it is and as many improvements bound to be made I Wouldn't personally mind or be surprised by a BCNM instant warp feature. But I do believe it is unnecessary.

    Secondly, I didn't correct anyone on spelling. I corrected a few people on here in their use of the ENTIRELY WRONG WORD. not that that it would matter much? But it's good for people to learn. I can't make an offhanded rhetorical comment without a weird snarky criticism from somebody it seems ,

    ?to help people past just knowing how to walk is such a bad thing i guess? since I guess that's where it ends. ........Really?


    yet you make a strong point , on the repetition. That I can agree with.
    but no matter what they'll be a repetitive in this game like it or not, mog sacking, walking or taking a warp to get the same set of items and so forth, and the battles? well those get repetative too no matter what, it isn't just in what you have listed here either. and also no need to indirectly insult intelligence of another real person you don't know by saying they never learned to walk either.

    and if i was you i guess id be a jack ass and make it a snarky personal attack towards you at this point in the post now then wouldn't I?

    Yeah, sounds like something I'd do.

    Actually, yeah it is. It's a slippery slope where every we get more convenient warps, people inevitably ask for even more convenient ones.

    What's the point in having all the areas in between if we never need to travel through any of them?

    Like people aren't already asking for more?

    Able to warp to Abyssea Warps and use confluxes within. But it's not enough. So we have Voidwatch warps, which makes nearly all forms of previous travel and warping redundant.

    I'm getting really sick of seeing all these threads around asking for for easier/direct warping that eliminates traveling and exploration. Lemme tell you, I did a BCNM20 (or was it 30, can't remember now) with a friend and one other random person who wanted tag along and he didn't even know the way through Giddeus. Drove my friend nuts too cause apparently he was speed hacking, whatever that is.

    Yes a warp npc would be good. Everything in FFXI has a teleport npc these days so why not seal fights.

    They could put stuff in those zones if they want us to use them. Otherwise, it would be a lot cheaper for the devs and players alike if they just put in a treadmill that you have to walk on for 20 minutes instead. Why design a whole zone just to make people annoyed at walking?

    These are level 15ish zones BTW, its not like we are sneaking past true sight mobs to get to balga's. Warping there is not gonna hurt anyone.

    Yeah, doesn't FFXIV have camps darted around everywhere, so at any point; anywhere you can teleport to any of their outposts and the major cities you've visited?
