Even though I would prefer a lengthy travel time and a vast world to suit it, I think they took the right approach for this day and age. From what I've noticed more and more people want convenience, which is a good and bad thing. Personally I have my HP set in Limsa and my free destination is Gridania, which puts me at a reasonable distance to Coerthas/Mor Dhona and lets me access East Shroud much easier to farm my daily treasure maps, as well as gives me that opportunity to not use the teleport feature. Aside from that I will typically mount up and ride where I need to go but will teleport when I'm feeling either tired or lazy, in a hunting group or if my next destination is literally on the other side of the world.

No thanks.

Keep your YE VERILY RP forest walks to yourself and let the rest of us enjoy the game. We have plenty of systems now to encourage traversing the world, we don't need travel timesinks. Every time one of these topics is brought up, the first thing I do is scan for the FFXI reference and lo and behold it's front and center. No one wants an MMO that plays like FFXI in 2014, deal with it, go back to that game if you're so desperate for slipshod immersion.

FORSOOTH, I DOTH ENJOY THESE STROLLS THROUGH THE WILDS WHERE I CAN FILLETH MINE GOBLET FROM NOBLE STREAMS. NOW IF THOU WILL EXCUSE ME, I MUST PICK UP MINE UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK

I love that argument, go back to FFXI. FFXI is not the FFXI it used to be also, it's pretty dated now graphics and the systems. Though if they came out with a FFXI 2 I would love to go back to it if it kept to its roots.

There are no systems in place for you to traverse the world, because there is no reason for traversing the world. It's not about RP because I don't RP, I find Rping kind of strange. The thing is if they didn't have these conveniences you wouldn't even think about em and you would still like the game and play the game as you are today, except a little differently.

Man you nailed it right on the head didn't you?

Everyone who enjoys atmosphere or a sense of being in a fantasy game are all unemployed nerds amiright?

Good to know your such a outstanding contribution to society with your wife, kids, 12 jobs, hell I find it hard to see where you eke out time to log into the game with how much time you don't have. Am I doing this whole condesending person thing right?

On further investigation, I concur.
This is not Rokien.
I'm not 100% sure as to why they'd impersonate Rokien, but...eh.

I'd rather impersonate the late legendary Gath.

Why the unkindness Mapleine?

So please cool down a bit, take a step back, and tell us why you think limiting teleportation is such a terrible thing when it literally takes 30mins15mins to choco from gridania to uldah.

Don't try to condescend and demand me to repost what I've already posted in previous pages when you ignored two of them so far. If you have to ask me to list the reasons why constantly spending fifteen minutes traveling to and from several areas is bad, you must limit how much you do in the game a lot. Because I personally travel all over constantly between gathering, Hunts, events, and other miscellaneous musings.

Also, someone who spends enough time on here to be at almost 4,000 posts is not some professional game designer.

You wound me sir!

To be honest I'm a graphics designer but that's neither here nor there. I've always been interested in game design though and is partly why I do spend alot of time here and other forums. Not that me being a game designer would have any effect on what I'm saying it's just as valid wether I do it for a living or not.

You could go to my twitter Rokien_ or add me on skype dannas29 or ps dannas-

lol I'm the real rokien, though, how do you come to the conclusion that I'm not the real rokien?

I have 4,285 posts on this forum.
I get paid for working on videogames. This makes me a professional by definition. It's not big or important work mind you, but the point is, the effort required to post here is hardly taxing.
