With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

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.

Plenty of people will use them whether you use them or not. And plenty of people will use them whether they still have anima or not. I have many friends who run everywhere on foot because they have this weird obsession with keeping as much anima as possible in the unlikely event that they might need to port all over the place suddenly. And there's those who just like to keep some saved up. And then there's people like me who don't have all day to run around and end up spending it all in a week.

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.

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.

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 Still agree with you tho i think both arguments are right in a sense but people not using another feature over another is bad design. I also feel like if people do not wanna ride yellow birds they should make you pay to recharge anima kinda how you pay to recharge the rings from star ocean.

Your concern was already addressed.

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.

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?

You can't abuse 6 anima a day, no matter how hard you try.

You can't use anima/port with anyone until you have unlocked the aetheryte you are going to port to is all that is needed.

Wonder which came first, the adult or the child? (chicken or egg)?

Hehe off topic, but couldn't resist!

with the way things are going soon you will be accruing 20 anima a day and then 100 a day... and some how you will find a way to accrue 101 a day even though you can only hold 100. they are already making return cost 0 anima.. how lame is that? Nobody goes into a dangerous zone without having to escape OR DIE.. that's simply lame.

Devs have not said they are changing the anima regen rate.

As it stands right now, 6 anima a day can not be abused.
