Increase the base run speed of characters please!!!

[Caesaris]

Not gonna happen, people. This game is designed, from the ground up, to be time consuming. It actually wouldn't be too difficult to just increase the game speed of everything in the game all at once, but why would they do that? They make too much money off of our slow running, and that they don't want to change.

Also how long does it take to camp that NM just to get that 1 piece of gear

That is the whole point of an MMO. You're asking for something that's already covered by natural progression in end-game to be made easier. If it's a speed boost you want to do a mission, use Sprinters Boots. Cheap and easy. If it's a more permanent fix, take on one of the many challenges in the game (which are designed to be fun, and part of the game) to better your character.

Essentially, what you're saying is, because you, yourself don't have the time to do missions for atmas, or friends/linkshell to kill an NM - it should just be changed to benefit you, and those like you.

As for your "P.S.", I gave you suggestions on how to speed up your character. I believe that's on topic. Evidently, that's not good enough - because you actually have to play the game to obtain those speed increases.

Every single job is covered by a +12% movement item. One of them is available for 800 AN (I think) - Speeding up movement would enable you to out-run most enemies and make an already easy game even easier.

I honestly couldn't agree more to moving faster, as a new player it is rather bothersome to get to where you're going! No move speed buffs, no chocobos, no teleports, no outposts, no backstreets to the mog houses! It is entirely cumbersome to get from point A to point B, just trying to get from the port in Sandy to southern takes up a huge amount of time and have I feel especially sorry for any new players who started out in Windurst X_X

Not only monsters' speed, but chocobo speed, and Mazurkas/Flee as well. Raising the cap on movement speed+ gear would be an excellent idea, though!

There isn't a "cap" per se on movement speed gear. It's just that only 1 piece of movement speed gear can be active at a time (the highest one).

I would also like to see this limitation removed, and more gear added to increase movement speed (especially for "light" jobs which logically should move faster)

I wouldn't mine an increase in speed, but I think it should be limited. Like a +12% flee that all jobs got. You can keep the cool down, but increase the duration.

Dose he now? Ram you better watch yourself, or else you'll earn a reputation at this rate.

Best option to keep battles from getting wonky looking would be to increase movement speed only when neither you or anyone in your group has any enmity generated on anything. A 25% boost would be as far as I would go and don't let it stack with any movement gear. Movement gear would be used for kiting only. Honestly though a speed boost is not REALLY needed. It's quite easy to get movement gear for almost any job if you care enough to put the minimal effort in.

If running around was too much of an issue SE should make the "Swift Shoes" effect available everywhere. As of right now getting around is not catastrophic. For all abyssea related stuff, you can warp to maws, and use confluxs to warp around the zone saving you hours. As for outside abyssea, we have chocobos, OPs, teles, etc.

IF I'm not mistaken, every job in the game can get some form of gear that increases movement speed. Sure some are tougher to get than others, but that is what makes the game fun-to go collect gear.

There is a reason I town idle on BRD with AF3+1 feet = <3 movement speed yoo!

MAZURKAAAAAA!
