With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

[Crica]

why would i bother using a chocobo or an airship when i can just teleport across the map in 2 seconds?

Because you said in this whole thread you WANT to.

So, do it because you WANT to.

Mort and Synapse are still arguing that it would ruin the game. LOL. The game lacks content and would be lacking content (world content) for quite a while but this folks believe that leaving anima as is in the game would ruin the game. The game's current state is grind and grind more but these folks are concern that you will "finish" the game in 5 months even though there is nothing to finish and has been nothing to finish for the last 10 months.

Before claiming the abolition of Anima or the need for Anima reform at least wait for the implementation of alternative transportation before making such outlandish claims. Basing your argument that folks would "finish" the game faster because they can travel easily is baseless. Claiming that folks are missing out by teleporting is equally baseless (for there is nothing to really at the moment).

Now if teleportation is limited to the crystals and Anima is removed and there a viable alternative methods of traveling then I don't think folks would care too much BUT, all of this is baseless recommendations because the alternative methods have NOT been implemented as yet.

why is it that the voices of rationality get ignored?

my highest rank is also rank 43 gla, it took me a bit longer to get bored with what the game has to offer then crica.. who is a rank 11 LNC. I at least actually played the game before i quit and started posting. It seriously takes like 15 minutes MAX to get to rank 11.. so if hes already THAT BORED with the game why is he even bothering defending any aspect of this POS game at all?

And as for your other post, yeah sure maybe the other transportation systems will all work with anima but why would i bother using a chocobo or an airship when i can just teleport across the map in 2 seconds? like I said, you may not be able to manage your anima, but i can and do and am rarely under 70 anima and still able to go wherever needed.

For starters my Anima is rarely below 90, I guess I am cooler than you because of that and the only reason I saying that is because you keeping pointing out how awesome you are for having 70 anima. This also contradicts your point in that people who teleport a lot would.......wait for it........HAVE LESS ANIMA. Isn't that awesome? Now whats the problem again?

gee why didnt I think of that? I think im going to log on right now so I can ignore the anima overflowing from my menu and just walk all over the entire world! BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IM POSTING. get a clue guys. its about the game, not me, its about all of us wanting it to be good and last, not be quick, short and shut down shortly after content is actually implemented. This team is so slow at putting in content that by the time they put in more content everyone will be finished with what they've already put out, much like the situation we are in now.

Perhaps they should come up with a system that rewards players who decide to travel instead of taking the quick route with Anima. I don't usually like to bring up other games and their ideas, but in Guild Wars 2 they also have a fast-travel system. However, from what I've watched they also have a system that rewards you for taking the long route.

Things that could happen in the future:
You can still use your Anima to get where you're going

OR

You can take the long route, notice a platoon of Garlean soldiers camping near one of the Eorzean camps, and you are given the option to take up a quest that allows you to inform a VIP at the friendly camp so that they can make preparations for battle, or be on guard. The camp is indebted to you for the information, so you receive a reward (gil or SP, whichever).

What SE needs to do is to stop restricting and start rewarding on the other side of the fence. Same thing with Fatigue/Surplus and I believe I saw a post stating they plan on giving rested experience for when people are logged off for a certain amount of time. They are taking away what restricts us from being able to play how we want.

[Crica]

its about all of us wanting it

But not all of us want it...

You just want all of us to want it...

And want to force us to do it with the limited game time we have to play...

45 mins of traveling and 15mins of playing for us!!

NOW!! *force force force*

This is actually a suggestion i would accept if put in place. It would also make the world a little more alive, more random events should happen in game, everything right now is so predictable.

Sadly the other side isnt open to suggestion, well the other side is just 3 people so far and i think even 1 try to find a middle ground and then got pulled back into the pit.

I'm not sure where your traveling but I think your addiction to teleporting is hindering you from ranking up in game. who the hell takes 45 minutes to get somewhere? Were you joking or something? Maybe you just don't know how to play? I'm baffled.

@Synapse - Why work with each other as a community and meet a middle ground when we could all just be pricks and insist in our own way and refuse any kind of suggestions? These people are probably the same people who would also rather feed off my tax dollars then get a job... because getting a job and being responsible is inconvenient.

Exactly. Independent of this whole anima removal nonsense, the key is to make alternatives more attractive whether its through quest, new areas, rare blacksmith etc instead of restricting or penalizing gamers. If there is a quest that would give huge EXP but you have to run/walk to the location, gamers would do it. If when exploring you may have rare encounters that gives you rare drops then gamers maybe driven to walk instead of teleporting etc.

The point is, it makes no sense to remove something for the soul purpose of making a timesink or making the game painful when there are better ways to achieve the same goal with less animosity from gamers.
