Increase the base run speed of characters please!!!

To the OP:

It's called Herald's Gaiters, Danzo Sune-ate, Blood Cuisses, Hermes' Sandals, Sprinters Boots, Trotters Boots, Strider Boots, Ninja Kyahan, Skadi's Jambeaux.

Less asking for easy mode, more obtaining the gear for your job that will give you movement speed. Why don't we just remove the need for weapons while we're at it by giving every job H2H, A+ skill in it and top it off with a permanent +999 attack and +200 STR?

The whole point of an MMO is to better your character, so how about we stop asking for it to be handed to us on a plate.

On an additional note, the map size in FFXI is miniscule compared to most MMOs.

I already know about all those pieces of gear.. but who is actually leveling those specific classes..Also how long does it take to camp that NM just to get that 1 piece of gear, how many people are required in a team just to kill the NM? I am not asking to make the game easier I am asking to make the game convenient and faster for our current characters in terms of moving not with combat-related issues... What your saying is completely off topic please do not post on my thread if you have nothing nice to say or suggest I do not want this to turn into another thread that goes completely off the original topic. Also I stated before the signet/movement buff that we would get from the guards in our own nations would only work in all areas but abyssea to balance things out. Indeed Abyssea does give drops that would increase movement speed for certain specific classes but that takes a lot of traverse stones, patience and a dedicated group of players to help. Not everyone has the time to go and get those movement speed gears for each of there classes. I am not asking SE to make the game easier I am simply asking that SE provide us with a basic way for us to improve our base character run speed without all that extra effort involved just to get 1 piece of gear that would take days or even weeks/months.


P.S: If you have nothing nice to say or suggest please do us all a favor and don't post on this thread... For all you know SE will ignore this thread for game suggestions and you'll get your way in the end anyways or not but who knows honestly. I thank the rest of you for your sincere posts thus far and can't wait to see what else you all have to suggest!

No matter how fast they make you run you'll always feel like you're running "too slow" as long as some jobs have access to movement speed enhancement.

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.
