Please Disable Skills and Abilities in Towns

But then you have people spamming stuff like Cure spells, Monk's 'boost' (I forgot the XIV name of it right now) move, stance changes, buffs that effect self or targeted others. If you take away the inability to use moves in towns, it prevents people doing those quests, and I can't see them just moving them out of town.

I'd prefer it automatically turned off other's abilities in towns. I don't mind seeing other's out in the world, but there's always one dumb dragoon doing the same move over and over and over and over in every town. It's annoying to keep toggling it on and off.

Everyone has to admit that when the Ninja job and Heavensward were released, the amount of skill spam in towns was ridiculous. I mean sure, we could turn battle effects off, but using skills in towns serves no purpose anyway. Those few quests need targets like others have said.

So yeah, I support this thread, as I have no reason not to.

This is a stupid idea. If you can't be bothered to turn off other peoples spell effects then it's fully on you how annoyed you get. I've taken some pretty cool screenshots of my DRK glamour while using the aoe skill (my dress flies up like an umbrella) and I would like to continue to take animation pics wherever I please, thank you very much. Use the tools provided before asking to take fun things from other players.

It doesn't take away anything or prevent anyone from running those quests as you can't use those skills in a town regardless. SE gives players who are running the quest the necessary means to activate those skills when needed. I doubt it will change if SE ever decides to do what the OP suggests.

The only reason you can't normally use them, is because there are normally no targets for them. If you take away the ability to say, cure spam people, it will also effect those moves, therefore effecting those quests.

But I like to Stoneskin newbies. ]:

Casting Cure and Regen on people who take fall damage or change their class is nice too.

Perhaps there are invisible mobs, that only those select few can see because they are the chosen ones.

When I am trying out a new outfit / glamour, I like to use different skills to see what I will look like while wearing it.
If skills were disabled in towns, I'd have to run outside every time I wanted to do do this. Or I'd have to bring all of the clothes / accessories with me outside.
