Teleports menu is bad

The teleport menu is very clunky and annoying to use.
This is about to become even worse with the many new areas coming in endwalker.

Plain and simple, these are my suggestions:

1. Search bar in the teleport menu.

2. Allow us to drag teleports to hotbars.

3. Let us have a /teleport command.
e.g.: /teleport Limsa Lominsa

This shouldn't be hard to implement, and would be a HUGE improvement for anyone who teleports a lot (like gatherers doing collectable/legendary nodes).

What's clunky about it?
But honestly half the time I'm just clicking on the aetherytes on my map to teleport.

Yes please!

This would be so good for gathering unspoiled/legendary stuff/aethersands.

I could just push 1 button to teleport to a single place. Or for my house I could push 1 button, instead of opening the menu, moving the mouse, and then clicking and waiting.

I also use chatline commands for most things. I open teleport with /teleport, so being able to type

/teleport Lims

and as soon as I type in "Lims" I could use autotranslate fill it out. Even if it didnt interact with the Autotranslate feature though, I would still use it, since while gathering, I prefer to not use the mouse. I'd rather just type my location.

Teleports menu is perfect !

It is classified by region, I want to go to Kugane, I click on the emblem of the Far Easts and Kugane.

I want to go to my house, other -> Estate Hall (FC/private)

Mor Dhona ? I know it's in Others - Mor Dhona

History : 20 last Tp

Favorites : yours 3 favorites Tp

it allows me to go where I want very fast when you hunting/fate farm for relics
Of course if you put All, you will be lost.

It's very clear and I've been used to it for 6 years, I don't know what more clear you need.

Don't forget: don't try to change the game, but to tame it.

Do you know you have a mouse? And that you only use the keyboard to move and skill, you can keep your hand on your mouse all the time, as soon as you arrive you are gone again, why waste time typing /tp destination.

And for gamepad players, well, they have to switch to physical/virtual keyboard and it's slow. And don't count on SE commands for FFXIV, it has no logic like: /Icantdologicalandfastshortcuts

You have an icon for a clear menu, and you can have Teleports menu on yours hotbars.

I don't understand your logic

Why does the game even allow us to customize our HUD? We should just use the same exact HUD as you. You're obviously perfect. You know exactly how everything should be done.

How dare anybody have a personal preference that isn't precisely your own? How dare I or anybody else ask for additional options to perform an action that wouldn't have taken anything away from anybody else, but instead have simplified my daily gameplay?

How dare Square Enix completely remake FFXIV! Legacy was perfect! They shouldn't have tried to change the game, they should have TAMED it! Ugh, why do they keep adding all these QoL fixes? I don't care how anybody else plays, I like the system just fine, it offends me on a personal level that anybody would ever try to do anything differently.

Obviously the menu isn't perfect if people find issues with it.

The history tab especially is useless. It's just as many clicks to access a saved place as any other spot, and besides, when you're gathering many items, that history tab is far too small.

The fact is what we're asking for has zero effect on how you want to play the game and would be a great benefit to us.

Also, you do realize the Teleport menu has been changed before, right? We wouldn't have a History tab if people didn't ask for it. Why would anybody need a history tab? Just click on where you want to go.

Nor did the Teleport menu originally distinguish between personal and FC plots. Just click on the right plot.

Originally the Teleport menu didn't even tell you the name of your destination (patch2.1). Who'd ever need this? If they're teleporting there, they should know where they're going.

The teleport menu is fine.

A search bar wouldn't add much that the autotranslator wouldn't be able to do if the /teleport command could take an argument. Just change the /teleport command to take arguments.

/teleport
/teleport Eulmore
/teleport "Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks"
/teleport (The Inn at Journey's Head)

If I could put the "History" tab as the default one it would do perfect for me, because there I have pinned the locations I visit constantly

As dated as it is its not really that much of a problem so I don't see SE bothering to even look at it . It works good enough and does what is intended, why bother wasting time and money on simple console commands. Also you can add teleport to your hot bar, if that helps make things easier and like Raikai said history or favorite to shorten the effort.

Note that the type input wouldn't help anyone in console so that's a thing. Its not that I think your idea is bad just that its not a needed one that would help with everyone's QoL
Also I play on both PC and console so this isn't a bias on it.

BUT.........
If you are more bothered by the listing of locations I can kinda understand, scrolling down constantly can be annoying but like I said it does what is intended

Explorer mode and gpose stickers don't help with most people either. Duty Recorder especially wasn't popular, but it still exists. Do I even need to mention housing? How does anything related to housing affect the majority of people who don't have a plot?

QoL doesnt have to affect everybody to be appreciated. This change would especially benefit gatherers, as they teleport the most. QoL is never needed. We didnt need cooldowns resetting on wipes, or food buffs persisting on death, but we still got it, because it doesn't waste people's time and ask them to do unnecessary busywork.

Everytime you press teleport on your hotbar and scroll to your location, just think that if you had a macro that said "/teleport "Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks" or whatever else location you regularly visit, you could already be loading in. Then there's stuff like aethersands or when I'm gathering legendary items, where I need to teleport every 2 minutes or so, I'm having my clicks doubled at least and my time wasted.

And this would be available to console players, since macros are nothing more than text commands.

Everybody teleports.
