With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

[Crica]

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.

Re-posting for third time:

It takes exactly 15mins to run from Limsa Leve counter to Skull Valley.

When I have only an hour to play (as I do most times - if Im lucky its 2 hours), that is 15 mins TO the camp, 30mins to do the leves at that ONE camp, and 15mins to walk back to Limsa.

No going to another camp, no helping out a Linkshell mate, no crafting any of the mats I collected, my play time is done.

Because I spent HALF (more if you count running around for battle/gathering leves) of it traveling

Come on. Unless I missed a post from you, you did not try to take the middle ground.

With Chocobo and airship it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to get where you want to go. I can probably run to Gridania from Ul'Dah on foot within 20 minutes. But that's neither here nor there.

Also, for everyone here, insulting people in the counter argument isn't going to change their minds. It will make them stick harder to their opinion regardless of whether or not it's right, and think less of your opinion simply because you insulted them. In essence, if you want to try and change someone's mind, come up with a well thought-out response and don't be a dick.

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.

I want a Thalanian (however you spell it) Zolom, Id so run/walk to fight that....or teleport to the closest camp then run/walk to it /sarcasm or just random enemy encounters to pop up along the roads to various places, just to shake it up

edit: Btw does Limsa havea airship dock? or is it one of those locked off places?

Lowering the maximum Anima is finding middle ground, completely eliminating the use of Anima is not giving a shyt.

i suggested these many times in my post, this what happens when posters go "Oh shit new post, >Jump last Page<, /complain"

Come on. Unless I missed a post from you, you did not try to take the middle ground.

I already suggested multiple times to leave the current Anima system the way it is and just restrict it in new areas, you must have missed it when i said it... like 8 times. I've posted more then 1 idea. I've even posted an idea for more anima if its quested. You where so blind in spitting on every last post with my name on it you clearly over read it.

@Circa that post says poor time management.

This is ridiculous.

(1) This isn't Vana'diel - the lore is different and the rules are different. The substance of aether covers the world and crystallizes at its strongest points. Sentient inhabitants of Eorzea can tap into that grid and ride it to other places, but only so often before their bodies can't take anymore. Deal with it.

(2) Running for 20+ minutes at a time is an archaic time sink. Many modern MMOs allow for increased travel speed over their predecessors because games can be updated and added to more rapidly now that there are broadband connections and DLC - every single aspect of the game doesn't need to be some kind of sink anymore - sometimes we can just... enjoy it? Twelve forbid!

You may be nostalgic for 2001, but I'm not.

@Circa that post says poor time management.

I agree!

Glad SE put in Anima so I don't have to spend HALF my normal gametime to get to and from a camp just traveling and can use that 30mins instead to hunt an NM or do a behest with buddies or craft with items I got from leves!

[Morticous]

I agree!

Glad SE put in Anima so I don't have to spend 30mins to and from a camp just traveling!

I don't think it should be SEs job to bandaid your poor time management skills. I think if you managed your time wisely you could easily make more of your 2 hours even if SE gave us another 300 anima and aethryts every 5 steps of the entire map.

I think its off to the side of the boat from Limsa to thanalamadingdong
