Maybe they could put a "starter fee" of anima on any teleport where you're going to a new aetheryte you've not been to...

Actually... ever since cataclysm you don't need to have visited the flight path before. Didn't bother checking if anyone mentioned this in the thread.

AND- there are just as many post defending it. Just read these argument and see if you can get a point out of them.

I'll sum it up for you:

"QQ, I don't like it that ppl can teleport where ever they want without walking there first! Because (insert random excuse why the entire player base should be asked to waste their precious free time just GETTING somewhere instead of completing game content: here). "

"Hey, you can only teleport to roughly 1/10th of the teleport locations without first having to visit them yourself. And lets not forfget, Another player has to take you there first! You can't just INSTA WARP WOoooooO, strait out of tutorial.


I am tired of being nice on this one.

Guys. I have a life, I run a business, I have a child, a beautiful woman, hobbies, other games to play etc etc. I still choose to spend my free time enjoying this wonderful past-time. But please stop calling for pointless limitations that do nothing but waste the free time of those who have little. Enjoy the game your way, explore till heart is full of joy. Walk from one end of the virtual planet to the other if it makes you happy, please, enjoy yourself (that would make me happy ). But stop asking me to be forced to do it.

If you want to walk NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU! :mad:

People aren't saying remove teleport, they are saying force players to walk there at least once in order to unlock it. so don't try to use the lack of time argument, because its non existant.
not to sound like an asshole, but if you don't have time to play the game, don't play it. but don't ask for them to make it shittier than it is now.

Maybe you'll take a day of gameplay in getting to the aethers instead of leveling. Geez. Where does it say that playing an MMORPG must be grinding 24/7? Take a chill pill. Its not going to kill you to take a day off your repetitive MMORPG activities to do something different you are only required once to do and while at it see the world that has been designed for you.

If you want to teleport NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU!

Do not accept freakin teleports to places that you have not been before.

ITS THAT SIMPLE.

Remember in FFXII where you ported to a crystal with a new party member you just got? (example, Ashe or Penelo)

You ported to the Giza pla-WAIT A MINUTE BUT ASHE HAS NEVER BEEN TO THE GIZA PLAINS SO I SHOULD HAVE TO WALK ALL THE WAY BACK OVER THERE AND HAVE HER TOUCH THAT TELEPORT CRYSTAL.

That would be pretty annoying, don't you think? Besides most of the in game world now is just copy/paste anyways. Why do you care what we do?

Um. Do you give the controller to your friend when you play with Ashe or Penello? K, didn't think so. YOU still had to go there once. If your friend did indeed play each time you used a different character, I would say it's a shame they never ran it.

Oh, and this thread, like most, is in anticipation of 2.0. But nice try with the copy/paste comment.

Okay, you knocked out two of my three points. So answer this last one. Why do you care what we do? Why is our teleporting of any relevance to you at all?

Not really. /shrug. I think that was a trick question. I have to care enough to tell you that I don't care that you care whether or not I care that you don't care to run to aeths first.

It depends on the zones after 2.0. I honestly think that getting to Mor Dhona was the only part of the main scenario that posed a challenge. So in a way I am a little /sad that people get to /easybutton that mission by getting teleported. But that's more of a problem with the foolproof questline (I mean seriously, I don't think you *could* die in most of those missions!)

Also, if the 2.0 maps are as beautiful as they're promised to be and not made to hamper travel (the tubes of the Shroud and awkward rock formations every 3 feet in Coerthas), it'll be a good idea to have people explore them because there's a good chance it'll be the only time the ever do.

If I was on the dev team, I would go back to the "supply missions" like in XI. Another player can teleport you around, but you have to accept a "mission" before journeying to the Aeth. Accepting a teleport you can't initiate will cancel the supply mission(s) you're on. So you have to run there just once before you can tele yourself (and so you're not always bumming teles), but can still accept the teleport to avoid /pcmd kick over not being able to accept the port.

Its not that I think your time should be ruined... It brings a little more longevity to the game (a combination of these things need to happen) and therefore keeps playing the game longer.. i guarantee you if teleporting wasn't so easy right now everybody wouldn't have finished with EVERYTHING nearly as quick.
