I am not saying they *need* to be removed, I am suggesting that they are not necessary. If we can not have more inventory slots because the data servers can't handle it, then why are we bothering with potions and food?
- Guildheists: I do not understand the point of the guildheists. They seem to be supposed to teach players how to work in a party, however, they can, as far as I have experienced, be completed with little to no communication, and are not challenging.
- Potions: The benefits of potions have been rendered irrelevant by my skills. I have access to Cure as a cross class ability on most of my jobs, or I have self healing abilities, which are more powerful than a potion. The potions that increase attributes do not last very long and have a very long cool down. I honestly have not been in a situation yet where having a 16% str bonus for a few seconds would make of break a fight.
- Food: Similar to potions, they are not powerful enough to serve much purpose. I just eat whatever to get me 3% xp bonus, but beyond that, I have not noticed any significant difference between being well fed and not.
- Chocobo fighting: having a chocobo fight with me seems kind of pointless. If I can not accomplish a quest by myself, then I should need a party. Being able to summon my mount to fight with me is just one more reason to not interact with other players, thus negating the MMO of this RPG.
- Hunting/Sightseeing logs: It's just a bonus for grinding mobs. I don't even know what the point of the Sightseeing log is.
- City to City Airships: I teleport everywhere. If I'm in Old Gridania, I will TP to Ul'dah. It's only a couple hundred gil more than running to an aetheryte, teleporting to the plaza, running to the airship, loading Ul'dah, then running to the elevator to run down to the aetheryte to go where I wanted to in the city.
- Treasure Chests: The loot is not particularly exciting; potions, food, or gear that's not as good as what I have.
- Linkshells: I do not know what these are for. I have my friends list and my FC. Why do I need a linkshell?
- Irrelevant quest lines (Ultima's Bane, Relic Weapon, etc): Queue for Ultima's Ballad some time. See how long it takes. If no one is doing these, then why have them? The Relic Weapon is irrelevant now, unless I am missing something. There are many quests that req. level 50 to do, but offer no XP. I understand why they existed before the level cap increase, but I do not see the point now.
