With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

This is how FFXIV should be, full of adventure. no more safety nets, just plain ol danger and adventure. done. Running to Valkurm at rank 10? what a challenge! Traveling to jeuno at level 18? man... what an accomplishment! learning teleport? so nice.. Getting handed anima since day 1? STUPID. Can we please also paint every zone in FFXIV gray as well? The colors are really inconvenient because they make my PC lag.

Thanks

Sorry, but spending hours trekking over the same old landscape a zillion times when I'd rather be fighting or making something is NOT my idea of adventure. Running to Valkurm at lvl 10 was only an 'adventure' the very first time you do it. After that you've learned the path and what to avoid and its easy and time-consuming and dull. The teleport system still makes us make that very first adventurous journey, but saves us from the dull repetition of this journey.

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.

we need to be able to make people wanna use choco's.

Why do you need ME to ride a choco?

How is me choosing to use anima instead of riding a chocobo going to affect YOUR gameplay?

[Punainen]

I agree with what your saying. BUT if they keep anima make it like it was before they lowered the cost even more. Like when it cost 12 anima to port to some places we need to be able to make people wanna use choco's it got to a point even on FF11 where OP warps > choco's cause they lowered the cost of warps. Even after i had enough warps Ariships and choco's was a waste of time.

You must not port around much. During any period of consistent play, I run around with an average of 0 anima. Even after they lowered port costs I've been running on foot lamenting the lack of chocobos. So why not SEE how much chocos get used or not, rather than changing port costs based on speculation?

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.

Clearly you abuse the already generous traveling system. I've played all day and never used all of my anima.. Usually don't get below 70.

Cause there is no point of them being in the game if no one is gonna use them. Also if your are gonna quote use the whole thing.

Players who have very little game time will use anima to travel, players with more gametime will use chocobos to travel because all of their anima will be gone.

Players will use chocobos.

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.
