Of forum goers, sure (You yourself seem to be using the fact that us "Vocal" people are on the forums as a negative thing so I guess I could use the same argument if you want and we would be in a silly cyclical argument or you can just admit you have no real clue about what the majority of players want, and know what you want) You can pull all the curcumstantial evidence you want to try and pretend you know your in the majority but it's just not possible to know really, so please...stop trying.
Also as I said when I linked that TED talk, the majority of people don't really know what they want until they experience it themselves, givin that FFXIV is popular with a crowd of gamers that are used to the way things currently are of course they aren't going to be very open for change. If I was to make like you and pull numbers and majority opinions from the thin air, I would say alot of players would actually like the game more if they focused on the open world more than the instanced one and made the game more interesting, removing the teleport system as it is now and replacing it with something else.
But...I can't do that, so I can just say that I think the game could use for more open world content and the current teleport system hinders any attempt to make the world more vibrant, hunts for example wouldn't be as much of a god damn gong show if the entire server wasn't migrating across the map like a locust swarm that could teleport to farmers fields.
Monster like Odin and Behemoth could wander the land without being inside a timed FATE bubble.
There are alot of things you can do when you don't have mass transportation at every single players fingertips.
I bring alot of points to my argument, you just continue to hammer on that the "Majority" doesn't agree with me, and even if they do I don't care if they don't agree with me I'm free to make suggestions as much as I want.

Let me just pose a hypothetical to you.
What are some of the bad points of removing teleportation entirely, I'll give you a easy one as it's got alot of issue to just AXE the system outright, but let me see what you think would happen.
Let's leave the duty finder as it is, so you can still que up for a dungeon while you roam the world as long as you have walked to the entrance at least once.
I wont even try and counter that the game would never have any form of teleportation I'll say that everyone has to RUN everywhere not even chocobo. What are the big problems that arise in this situation, I can think of a few big ones how about you?
How would these changes affect you on a day to day basis playing the game, theory craft for me I'd like to see if you can come up with something I haven't considered when I suggested that teleportation be changed.
