Abolishing Anima

[Ava]

hard to compare, since you get paid to work, and you spend what you get paid to make the money for gas to trvael to and from work more

if we had a way to earn more, itd be comparable, but it isnt

You get paid to play FFXIV, too. Your reward is entertainment. Your logic is flawed. You are entitled to your opinion but the least you can do is just recognize how inconvenient the system is for people that actually want to play the game.

If you could teleport to your destinations, you still need to travel from aetheryte node to crystal and/or destination. If they altered, or even abolished anima, think of what you could do with all the time you saved. Here's just a short list:

- Farm materials for that next big item you need crafted
- Level your crafts to make that next big item
- Kill monsters for SP
- Join your LS for that raid you want to do
- Finish some of the quests for lore
- Take part in company content
- Help friends

etc...

In the future, there will be even more things you can do, unless of course I am forced to run halfway across the world to do every little thing I want to do.

If you want to travel instead of playing the game, then you don't have to use anima, nobody's forcing you to. Are you afraid you will be tempted by the convenience? Poor you. I know how nice conveniency can be though, so I don't think anyone will blame you.

traling is part of playing the game...

but my statement still stands, there is no reason to keep making everything easier and easier and easier

you essentialy get rid of the world, and all you have left are camps and dungeons and cities if you make everything free to teleport to instantly

yet thats ok, cuz it will benefit certain players who dont ever wanna see anything but the camps, dungeons and cities(hell im sure theyd even cut out some of those if they could speed along to just the dungeons faster doing it)

Exactly! It will benefit those who WANT to, and those who do NOT want to still have the OPTION not to!

See how that works?

Options = everyone is happy and playing they way they want to!

I wont answer you until you answer all the other questions i had about the same excuse you guys keep giving about it not hurting us(even though i have answered)

How does starting everyone at 50 hurt you? it doesnt
How does giving everyone the best gear to start the game hurt you? it doesnt
How does eliminating the entire world and making portals to instances for us to grind in hurt you? It doesnt


I can ask you a million of these questions, none of which hurt you, and yet that doesnt make them good ideas in the slightest

asking people how it hurts them, as a reason for why it should be implemented is a LAME arguement to use

But anyway only like 8 ppl out of the whole forum find the anima system to be a problem so SE will take notice I'm Sure

that is cause no one goes on forums, most people will just quit or not play a game not spend time on forums. i wouldn't be suprised that every dev and person involved with making ffxiv has a account here and is posting lol, and that leaves almost no real players giving real input. this game will go in the direction they want no matter how we ask or how many people want it if you ask me. this game tricked us into buying it, in reality most people don't use forums, they buy a game and they play it never using a pc for any part of it outside maybe info's for quests an whatever. they aren't getting the opinions of alot of players that matter, they get them from those with to many opinions or have a different agenda then most people in the world. like i said most will take the game or leave it, and the devs are sitting up there thinking in the same way a gw dev is ..when he said to his devs so what, we'll make a mmo how we want and the people will like it.

but lol that is a bit off topic so anywho, down with the anima system.

You're saying that the opinions that really matter are those of people who aren't involved enough in the game to even check out it's community forums?

I have to disagree, idk who decided that for a game to be successful it has to be on the tips of everyones' tongues even if they never played it, but it does absolutely nothing to enhance the personal enjoyment of those who actually play. SE should be responding to it's player base not a handful of yahoos claiming to have inside knowledge on the mmo market.

Anima actually regenerates rather quickly especially if your the kind of person who only logs in once a week. If you have 0 anima you will be full again in 16 and two-thirds of a day. you will be able to teleport 3-6 times after three days. And soon you'll have specific home points that regardless of what you have to do that day in game will still be the same home point for a 0 anima return cost.

If i can't teleport somewhere and i don't have time to do something otherwise i simply won't do it continue on with my schedules real life and come back and do it when i have some time or anima. Which has literally happened twice in 10 months, and that's being a full-time student (no work) so i have things to do but not so much that i dont have time to spend anima, believe me i do.

I really thing you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
