Abolishing Anima

[Firon]

Anyways i gave alternate way to get anima by charging for it, he just called me a troll which would be basically the same as XI system cause you paid for damn near every port in the game in some form.

XI: had to pay for OP warps, had to pay credits for staging points, and i remember right the ports in the past was gil or free can not remember.

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.

Then of course you're going to be biased because you don't have to worry about it, just like Foxbat. Neither of you have yet to come up with a good reason not to have free teleporting.

we did come up with great reasons as have several others
and you basicaly ignored them and told us those werent reasons, cuz it still doesnt hurt us to have free teleporting



while we are at it, lets just add a room to each city
and in that room is a hundred portals, to various parts of the world
which you can use for free

the portals will have big signs over them stating their area and coordinates

then everyone can get everywhere for free and everything will be perfect right?

[Firon]

The next patch will allow us to set "home points" as well to teleport to for.. free!!

Actually we have the function alrdy you just cant set it how you like it.......

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)

the ability to set a home point and keep it that way was long overdo, was just a matter of time
for those of us who did leves at various locations it didnt really let us "set" it at all though since we got auto saved to wherever we did our leves when we activated it

Betel wins the thread. This is absolutely brilliant.

Previously:

I asked you this before, and I guess you missed it so I'll ask again: What is it honestly going to hurt if people can teleport as many times as they like, whenever they like? What?-- People say it will take away from the purpose of the terrain, well, isn't that their personal choice to miss out on that? Nobody really complained when 100% of the population camped Ul'dah and Eastern Thanalan since release, as long as they got their 120k SP every 36 hours.

I win.

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!

Actually when the game first came out i played a lot and i still never ran out cause i don't just teleport every where there is no need to. Also i'm pretty sure if they made it free they would just stick an timer on the port which would suck more than anima cost.

[XooZQ]

wait
every patch?
every patch?
seriously?

do you know whats happened every patch? nothing

they reduced it twice so far

the first time it was a reduced cost around the board. it was pretty bad at launch
the second time, they permanently put the city teleports at half cost and introduced favorites

thats twice, thats not "every patch"

Again with the reading and comprehension problems.
