With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

PS. And as soon as there IS more content, and more places to go, and more reasons to move around, people will run out of anima even faster and be on foot way more often than they port.

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] At least require people to run from the middle of the zone instead of teleporting directly into town.. And again, like I said, i had enough friends to supply anima for me that I rarely got under 70 anima points... and i used to play every day.

Funny that, I admittedly may have stopped playing for a while (explaining my low rank) but now I'm back and I log in every day and play. Oh look, I have 100 anima! because I log in where I logged out and theres no need for me to go anywhere just yet, but when I'm done here, I can teleport anywhere any time, stay there and do what I need to do, then look at that, 100 still!

"abusing"? So I run out and have to walk... But walking is what you WANT me to do. So its a problem for you that I end up having to do it?? Do I spy an oxymoronic argument here? You want me to have to walk, but you hate that I have to walk..... Yeah...

And you like walking rather than porting. Good for you! Then continue to walk instead of port! Is that so hard?? How is everyone ELSE porting or rushing through the game hurting you? If porting across the map is so damn stupid to you (nevermind every MMO have SOME form of teleport), just don't do it!!! What a crazy idea!!

Then that makes you a casual player. Anyone who hates porting can just stop doing it. Its not that hard.

Well I am a little late to the party here arent I? :P Anywho. Let me start by saying this is an MMORPG. Yeah that is right guys an MMO. Now if you have ever played an MMO before you know that they are time consuming and for the most part should be challenging. Now I am not saying this game should be like Kirin fights back in 2005 but there should be some challenge here. Now let me say I do love FFXIV. I think it is a game with much potential but SE is simply handing stuff over to us without making us work for it. On topic with the Anima... Personally from my point of view I dislike the whole anima system and would love to see it gone. Now before you flame me on this look at it like this. (I saw something similar to this earlier in the topic sorry forgot who posted it >_>) But in an MMO its all about accomplishments. XI for instance. Getting your sub job items was huge wasnt it? Getting your chocobo pass to get to places faster after that crazy walk through agro zones knowing you will be able to avoid that agro when your done questing your pass. Oh what about that time you got to level 30 and started questing those new jobs? Bringing back memories am I? lol sorry didnt mean to make you emotional haha. But come on guys when you were doing all those quests you all wanted to kill yourselfs because it was taking forever huh? But what about after? It felt damn good didnt it? "Dont have to do that again THANK GOD!" "Woot questing for this job was so worth it I love SAM!" In XIV I dont quite get that feeling I had in XI. Everything is just there... I do feel for you casual gamers because I am one myself. Now I am not saying this game should be for the extreme players only cause hell like I said I am a casual player too. To me they are making XIV too casual and forgetting about what people really enjoy in MMOs. Now before you say go back to XI blah blah blah. Believe me I would if it was how it was 2 years ago before abyssea. But what is killing XI? The fact it is too easy now. Everything is being handed to you on a silver platter. As a soon to be father, living on my own with my fiance and paying the bills I still like to come home and be able to "accomplish things" not log in and warp here do a silly leve iv been doing for a month and get bored. I like to play my 1-3 hours a night get some stuff done and cant wait for the next day or the weekend or whatever to continue my journey. This game is huge. Its beautiful. Not too much happening in the world but that will come eventually (hopefully) But for you people who enjoy it do you really see yourself playing it in a few years with it being as easy as it is now?

WALLOTEXT lol sorry but yeah these are just me feelings. Im not attacking anyone personally or agreeing or disagreeing but come on guys easy games are snore inducing lol. Hopefully we see the challenege in the future =(

I didnt say get rid of teleporting, learn to read. I already said that everyone rushing through the game leads to a dead game, learn to read, stop making me repeat myself, wannabe taru.

[akisato]

I have to say this and if someone has im sorry but you all seem to have forgotten that you have to walk to a place before you can warp there so i dont see why we must always walk back to a place we have already been just saying if no one else has.

There are two types of people of the forum. The ones that hate or want to dictate how others play and the ones that don't care what others do once they are not subjected to changes that would affect their gaming.

Leaving anima in the game is not stupid or does not make the alternative methods of traveling useless. If you personally hate teleporting then simply STOP TELEPORTING. Its that simple. No one should dictate how or when someone should teleport because quite frankly that is none of your concern. If you feel that it would ruin the game because someone else is enjoying the luxury of teleporting then you need to re-evaluate yourself.

with that kind of thinking soon there will be less then 100k people playing that game.. because we will all be bored.

@akisato - most of us just want some work thrown in there at first instead of it just handed over.. to give us somthign to do and a sense of accomplishment. we dont all just want it GONE (although Ide be fine with it gone.. give the mages teleport scrolls)
