Suggestion: Let Us Infinite-Sprint In Main Cities

Even teleporting; walking around is time-consuming.
Why don't we just auto (and infinite) sprint inside the main cities? or any city on a separate map from any combat zone?

There's no reason not to have this as a QoL improvement. What does plodding along in a city-zone (which does not have any combat at all) do?

Honestly just teleport me directly to whatever I'm supposed to do. Who cares about enjoy the world of an RPG. Actually just let us log directly into the boss rooms and kill them before we get there. Just give us the loot, there's no reason not to have this as a QoL improvement. What does combat do?

Strawman much?

An exceedingly dumb one at that.

But hey, you're certainly free to RP walk everywhere in game if you like.

That's exactly how I feel about the original request.

Opinions are cool.

What does any of that have to do with being able to sprint from place to place IN TOWNS, where there's 0 combat and 0 to do between the crafting row, merchants, boards, and turn-in areas like the Serpent desks for my Supply & Provisionings.
In New Gridania, to buy items to Supply, I have to run from the desk to the aetheryte, teleport to the merchant's row, buy the items, teleport back to the main aetheryte, and sprint back to the Serpent desk.

How would giving me infinite sprint for, again CITY ZONES WITH NO COMBAT, take away from anything?

Or were you just looking to be disagreeable? Because your strawman is horrible.

Just displaying how ridiculous I think your request is with something that you'd find just as ridiculous. You can already teleport basically anywhere you need to, and they've added a FC buff that basically gives you this anyway.

Now sure why this is that terribly outlandish or ridiculous of a request when, like you said, you already can basically get this anyway. I mean ranged physical dps classes have what's basically a permanent sprint out of combat already. The only reason I'm in favor of not just letting us mount in cities is because it'd make talking to NPCs more annoying than it already is with SEs wonky NPC load priorities (and yes I liberally use the keybind to target/interact with the nearest non player). Just implement it as a toggle or something /shrug

Except my suggestion is in no way the same as skipping content or combat, or skipping to bosses. It's letting people run faster in large cities because teleporting only gets you so far.
If you don't like the idea; say that. Your comparison falls flat, however, and just looks like a bad strawman.

I figured we did not have mounts in cities to avoid visual clutter. Which was why I suggested just having infinite sprint-speeds.
Heck; make it a toggle, so people who want to plod everywhere can do that, but people like me don't have to waddle to the nearest crystal, teleport to the nearest crystal to where we want to go, and waddle from there to our destination.

Just swap to ranged DPS using Peloton with Strider boots. If you've unlocked every aethernet in a city, that problem is more or less solved. :P

and that begs the question as to why this should even be necessary if it's already something we have access to, just locked behind swapping to another job for ~20 seconds

Why should I have to switch to another job that I may not even have leveled yet?
Better yet; if there's already a job with infinite sprint outside of combat: Why is anyone arguing AGAINST every job getting this boost for the main cities?

I think they're suggesting you solutions for the here and now.

You don't even need to level a ranged job, you're high enough level to unlock dancer if you've got shadowbringers or beyond.

Fair, but a couple of the replies sound more like 'Why do your suggestion when we have <band-aid fix>?'

I do have dancer, but this is my first time resubbing in about a year, so I was not aware of any skills I could use in town.
Granted; opening my character panel, switching builds, closing it, and using the skill seems slower than just continuing to move as whatever class I am.

That just makes the question, "What's the point of this job having utility when all jobs should have the same thing!? Why can't my job have it too?!"

I'm sorry, but that complaint really just draws parallel to the complaints I see about Black Mage not having raise as a caster, or complaints about people needing to unlock NIN and DNC for gap closers to travel faster in the city. You're not really locked out of traveling faster or swapping jobs to use more movement skills in a main city, so it's more of a moot point. These things are more for job identity purposes if you want them, but you can live fine without them because of how abundant the aethernet is in the main cities.

I mean, realistically, where else are you going to use Peloton outside of dungeon/alliance raid running often enough? Why gut their purpose when their very purpose is designed for that?

An FC buff that makes sprint last 60 seconds in cities has already been added in Endwalker. What you are asking for is already in the game.

Really wouldn't mind 60 second sprint in towns to just be a baseline. I recently booted up Dragons Dogma again and the infinite stamina in towns felt stupidly good, one of my first thoughts was "Wow I wish I could do this in XIV!"

Having it eat an FC buff slot is just sorta lame.

My suggestion has nothing to do with combat, so h ow does it draw parallels to people trying to alter how classes work in combat?

I'm asking for a non-class-based QoL change to give us sprinting speeds in cities, where there's no combat. HOW does wanting to stop waddling everywhere in a town draw a parallel with people wanting a rez in combat?
I don't get this 'Why not alter combat' parallel people are drawing. I'm not asking to change combat. I'm asking to move faster in cities because there's 0 point to walking slow.

There's no 'balance' to walking slow or fast in a city. So there's no parallel to people wanting to alter combat balance. At all.
Sorry; the parallel does not work.

I just like how people are so used to shutdown ridiculous ideas that when there's one that pops that isn't actually ridiculous, they spit out some of the most inane responses by reflex.

READ. CAREFULLY. PLEASE.

And take your time to understand the text. It's a sprint in TOWNS/CITIES. TOWN/CITIES. Repeat after me: TOWN/CITIES.

If you don't like it, understandable, but please actually come up with valid arguments as to why it isn't good. "I just don't like it for no reason" is perfectly also acceptable. I don't have any real reason to hate oranges but I just do.
