Theres a thing called anima

[Charismatic]

If the quests are only about walking to somewhere in town then they are bad quests. If the bulk of it is just travel they need to work on making better quests rather than making the game less convenient to move around in.

I have no idea why people think having to wait on a ship is somehow better than instaporting.
Jynx's post with the loading screens and all that is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in this thread thus far, especially since unless there is mandatory content on the airship rides it'd essentially be a long loading screen for most players anyway!

I'm all for adding meaningful content that takes a while to complete but there is literally no point to super long travel times. If at any point I'm not pressing buttons, I'm not playing the game.
Auto running or following someone to a destination isn't playing the game. Just walking around for 10 minutes at a time, I guess you could call it playing the game but wow... that's not exactly fun now is it? If they want players to utilize the huge zones they've made they should give the players incentive to do so by putting things to do and see there rather than just making the players have to walk through on their way to point B. It really isn't that hard of a concept to grasp.

No one is advocating super long travel times. We are advocating None-Instant Travel that is faster than walking.

When did I suggest they be long loading screens? I insisted they be instant loading screens because the cities are apparantly seconds away from eachother.

I'm saying whats the point of having them span distances to get to on foot when it takes mere moments to get their even without precious anima. I want a world where such shortcuts are laughed at, not work-arounds for the issues that are currently here.

Exactly. Is there even a point to having 3 main cities and a fourth coming? Is there a point to an expansive world? Apparently there isn't. I move to add a zoneline connecting the adventurers guild of every city. After all, we wouldn't want people to have to sit around waiting for the instantaneous airship to arrive either. In fact, we probably wouldn't even want to have people walk through the city to the airship docks. I make an official motion for the merging of the 3 cities into Limsa Ul'dania!
