This thread is ridiculous. Those of you out there who "don't mind running around eorzea" are masochists. Its a absurdly repetitive cut and paste world with nothing of particular interest to see once you have seen it. There isn't any real danger along the way most of the time, your character runs like he's 96 years old and recovering from back surgery.

Why you support a system that

1. encourages people to work around it - i.e. create a mule to taxi them
2. creates friction in parties during transportation
3. creates reasons not to play - i.e. because drinking arsenic is more fun than running for 1 hour from Gridania to some remote place.

Really GMAFB.
