Warping Directly To BCNM Circles

[Sparthos]

The Dev's have better things to worry about than expediting player laziness.

If you're too lazy to walk to the BCNM, you're probably too lazy to do them in the first place.

Changing the exit coordinates and creating a direct teleport to a zone is what they've been doing with every Voidwatch iteration, give me a break.

The time wasted walking back and losing 15mins after every BCNM has nothing to do with desire to do the actual battles. Some BCNM walkarounds are longer than the actual battlefields.

You mean like updating chocobo racing a event that NOBODY does? Okay bro I'm with you there.

I didn't say that was worth updating either.

Yet there's those that complain about lack of content and not doing the content that exist. =\ Only the Japanese players and a few western FF enthusiast actually care to explore what content exist in the game instead of bitching about it cause it isn't "interesting" enough or "rewarding". Granted though, it's how you personally feel about it, and personal feelings and opinions don't always match.

You want to know what the number one killer of BCNMs? It sure isn't the time it takes to travel there. It's the fact that many players don't even know anything about BCNMs that they can do. And the players that do? The excuse is 9/10 the same; "I don't have inventory space for lv.X0 gear."

Like I stated before, thanks to additional ways to get around the continents of Vana'diel, travel time has been drastically reduced. Direct warping will not make BCNMs more attractive. It'll only make it easier for people to get to the BCNMs like KSNMs 99 that people are already going in LARGE groups with MULTIPLE orbs. Or certain BCNMs for items people ARE willing to travel for. Forget the RMT excuse, you simply want to warp there to abuse it.

Oh right, but even when it's there, after the abuse is done, some of you will the first to complain about being bored in Jeuno cause you exhausted your current means of entertainment in less than a weeks time and wonder why you even still play, if you aren't even doing that already.

They should just add a universal NPC in the mog house that lets you pick anything in the game from a list and jump striaght there. Let's add in some bot allies so you don't have to waste time finding people to party with. Then, let's get rid of the Online part and remove all that nasty lag. Then, let's make it so everything in the game can be done from the mog house without even having to leave it. 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.

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.

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.

[Zumi]

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