Waypoints

The real issue is SE gives us new methods of warping places that are supposed to be convenient, but they don't make them convenient.

I'd have to disagree, most of them are quite conveninent. They're not inside your moghouse or immediately adjacent to the door, but they're convenient enough. We absolutely are seeing other things delayed because of XYZ other things they're working on (not necessarily any of the things you named)

I believe they still want a certain amount of "distance" between the three original cities and jeuno. Travel to basically anywhere else is very convenient and I can't believe that's just a fluke.

My guess is they don't want to make the airships totally irrelevant (not that they aren't nearly so already), but that's just a guess (in which case, they need to cut the travel time of the airships, considering there's nothing to do on them most of the time)

So you're not against things being streamlined, as long as it's your idea. Got it.

No, you don't got it. There's a difference between streamlining and easy-buttoning.

The airships already take longer than other forms of transit- their only advantage is they're nice if you want to go AFK for a few minutes. Basically, they're already irrelevant. My post was not a suggestion for a solution- it was an illustration of why I think they are / are not taking certain actions. Nowhere in my post did I say "I don't want anything to be improved unless it's my idea," nor did I even imply it. Your post is just trollish and inflammatory.

That being said, I'm not really sure why people are complaining about this considering the voidwatch NPCs can drop you at the three nation's doorsteps without even having killing a single voidwatch NM.

I'm comparing shorter airship rides (your example) to placing a waypoint in my starter city (mine). You validate yours by saying "there's nothing else to do on the airship, anyway". What exactly is there to do when walking to the outpost warp, then selbina, then to the waypoint? Why is your example a valid request, while mine is "easy-buttoning"?

I'm not making a request. You're misreading the intent of my post. Notice how all that stuff is in parentheses. Ignore the parens and their contents for a moment and read the sentence they are found within.

I understand completely the intent of your post. No, you're not specifically asking for shorter airship rides, but you state that if they want the airships to remain relevant, they should shorten the ride time. Therefore, you think that would be something reasonable for them to do, but putting an extra waypoint somewhere is so entirely different and "easy-buttoning" that you need to come in here and argue against it.
