Ok I am not complaining about Anima Regeneration but I don't think your statement is fair. Take for instance high level Gathering classes who wish to grind Leves. We can only pick TWO leves at a time, and chances are we will burn through those TWO leves in 10 minutes or less. So you mine for cobalt out in Iron Lake...Return to Limsa Lominsa...take TWO more leves...and then chocobo all the way out to Iron Lake? Sure that is not terribly far...but to repeat this every 10 minutes? Using anima is the only way to QUICKLY grind EXP in this fashion. (Same goes if you choose to Leve grind in Treespeak)

Granted Haltali is close to Ul'dah and not nearly as long to ride to as Treespeak and Iron Lake...but my point is its not so much being lazy as it's not wishing to ride back and forth between Iron Lake/Treespeak every 5-10 minutes.

Player should be allowed to dump gil on NPCs to buy Anima and Guardian's Favor. This would solve two problems. The economy would lose excess gil and players would be able to burn Anima/Favor as they see fit. SE should have implemented this by now.

So what you need is more leves for gatherers instead of increased anima.

Imo remove anima alltogheter, make warping to Aeryths only avaible from cities/other crystals and have it cost a sum of gil which, the cost would be higher the further the Aeryth is from your current location, and like with the airships have it scale with level.

The game could use another gil sink for sure and I for one find the current teleport system is very silly and out of hand, give mage classes access to teleportation and player summining spells instead.

This system we have now punishes casual players and hardcore alike, for example the weeks I cant play my anima sits at 100 getting wasted, and when I do play the anima always runs out and refills way to slow, having ports to camps costing gil solves alot of issues this present system has.

One thing some people seem to forget is some people don't have hours and hours to play at a time so they cant run or chocobo everywhere, some people (like myself) can only manage 1-2 hours every few days and atm I am lvling Botanist so I teleport to alot of places so I can actually get things done.

I do like the idea that was mentioned about the longer you dont use anmia the faster it regens, that could be a good idea.

Are people not shouting/selling teleports anymore? I remember a few players that were doing that. I hasn't seen it in a little while, though.

I still find myself tapping out on anima even with airships and choco's. I know SE prolly wouldn't doulble the rate which would be nice. so maybe 1 anima every 3 hrs?

Ok...set them to your favorite and you spend...3 anima per trip.

Use the return function to get back to Limsa/Grid/Uldah Using 3 anima per 2 leves isn't a terrible exchange it's not the best but it costs you because of the convenience of it. If your using that much anima using this method your obviously not too strapped for time and can afford to run with your yellow friend for a few minutes.

If all else fails you can always grind the old fashioned way before lev allotments...on Grade 5 nodes.

Spend soon-to-be-useless Guild Marks on Anima and/or Guardians Favor?
