Ok, its been long enough now and the face of FFXI has changed enough just give everyone a 30 min cooldown warp ability. BLMs don't really care about Warp anymore, and would love the fact they don't get bombarded with D2 requests from those folks to lazy to scroll of instant warp back. The only useful thing about WARP for blms is doing quests and things that require going back and forth rapidly to their respective home point. The 30 minute cooldown still leaves the usefulness of warp there, while the change EVERYONE would love. The fact you haven't already done this, implies no one in your office actually plays this game.
**Lol impact of making changes to scroll of warp... HILARIOUS! Folks really love spending 10 CP to buy a rare spell every time they warp. Oh wait...
P.S. As someone that plays this game, what happens is you just warp back... forget to grab another warp... need to warp again... look in your inventory, and say oh crap forgot to... oh well... runs grabs 10 mobs and blood warps back.
OR
you could just give us an ability to warp back (with a cooldown), or just make warp scrolls non-rare and stackable to 99 if your devs are feeling extra lazy.
Either way, the fact we are having this discussion tells me how totally out of touch with the simple way folks play this game. Get an intern that plays this game to give feedback with stuff like this. You shouldn't need a Dev "...to continue to look at this.", ROFL!
Dev 1: "Hey Bob, come here lets look at the warp scroll!"
Dev 2: "Yeah, thats a warp scroll alright"
Dev 1: "So everyone can purchase these right?"
Dev 2: "Yup"
Dev 1: "So what are they wanting us to do to the thing?"
Dev 2: "I don't know, they can everyone can buy them"
Dev 1: "Huh? well lets go grab a drink, come back and stare at it more..."
Dev 2: "Sounds good, maybe we can come back and stare at that code that only allows 3 instances to AA fights too"
Dev 1: "Lol, good one, but we have no idea what that stuff is."
Dev 2: "Your right its written in Chinese, and we only speak Japanese and English"
