With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

What you do not understand is that more people will play a game when they can actually log on and play the game in the time they have to play.

When people realize when they log on most of their time will be spent traveling in order to be able to play the game, that is when fewer people will want to play.

Yeah except for all the people who are still traveling in FFXI and have been for like 9 years. Its called earning things like a warp cudgel and doing quests for OP posting man.. im not saying you shouldnt have an easy way to travel, what i am saying is you should just have to do a little work to get it(more then having a friend or simply stumbling upon a TP crystal). All of these things give us more things to do in game? dont people want more things to do in game? why is this not a good solution to what some of us see as problem? Not only do you still get to have all of your anima (and maybe even MORE after you earn it) but you actually have something to do in game instead of killing 3 second pop NMs all day long... your easy travel is THERE you just have to take it! instead of just having it shoved down your throat. I'm sure you will find one sentence out of this paragraph though and twist it to your liking.. that's what you've been doing anyways.

No one is shoving anything down your throat.

You can opt to not use any anima at all if you wish.

I hope your a solo player because with a mindset like this your going to be the only one playing this game 6 months from now (if it makes it that far).

Care to elaborate?

I fail to see how me using anima during my gametime affects your gametime in anyway at all.

None of the comment that you quoted said anything about me. I'm simply pointing out that everyone is going to get really bored of this game quick if we keep making it as casual as you would like it to be. I'm sure there will be a handful of people still playing.. but it will never live up to FFXI's reputation. And 9 years of this??? FFXIV will never last half that if it continues to be as casual as it is now and becoming.

Being forced to spend hours running =/= hardcore gameplay.

This is only one small part of it.. you really think im only talking about anima when i say all this casual play?

@Crica - People who don't know better will abuse the anima (as well as the other casual features being implemented), quickly get through the game and get bored. Have you not lived on this earth for more then 15 years? look around you, more then half the world doesn't know wtf they are doing on a daily basis, most of these people need to be told what to do in order to get through life safely. Unless we prevent it from happening, its going to happen. why cant we just put a quest in for? why? why cant we? why wont you answer that question? you dont want more questing? Its not like the quest has to have a boss at the end of it with 99999 Health or something before you can have 100+ anima. Its just a creative way in giving us anima as well as something to do in game. why do you keep ignoring this? why?

The game caters to casual playing by including options for players who have very little time to play.

What does that have to do with the game being "boring"?

"Boring" is a personal opinion.

What is "boring" for me - traveling - is not "boring" for you.

Vindictus seems to be the better choice of game for some of these guys. Why did SE make the world map anyway you all wanted to be insta-teled to where you need to be?

ugh...I'll teleport to where im needed but walk/run/ride/fly to where I wanna go.

I, you, everyone has a choice to teleport or not why dont you gain some self control and not use it. Me using a teleport does not affect you at all, my "gil sink" is repairs which is quite often seeing as I adapt to whatever composition the party is and act accordingly meaning lots of broken gear. Id rather not be kicked out of a party because I couldnt get to camp broken water quick enough due to a vital member needing to go to work soon.
