    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.

    LOL super long travel times would be walking from town to town. COME ON PEOPLE THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND. It will take you 20mins on foot to get to LL. Probably the same to get to Grid(I'll time it). That travel time would be cut down to a few minutes with an airship. Lets say 5mins(including the wait for the airship) thats a 75% reduction in travel time. You all guys are all high on crack if you don't have 5mins to spare. Like I've stated many times before in this thread [SIZE="7"]STUFF HAS TO MAKE SENSE!!!![/SIZE] Please, [SIZE="5"]ANYONE[/SIZE], tell me how this instant airship ride, mixed with the non instant ride, makes ANY SENSE AT ALL! Come on, I'm on my knees begging.

    fact is (without using that stupid large text and font) it does NOT have to make sense. why because its a game.

    Tell me if everything has to make sense how come i can beat a 50 foot tall dragon with my fists? You will have no answer because it does not make sense. SO thats how instant airship DOES make sense in a completely fake fantasy (wow thats in the title of the game no?) game.

    P.S. you can get off you knees now i just answered the question.

    Stuff has to make sense? Stuff like notorious beasts being slain and popping up 10min later?
    Stuff like enemies appearing out of thin air in general?
    Stuff like going into your own instanced world for quests?
    Stuff like enchanted bikinis?

    Let's face it, it's a video game... not everything has to make perfect sense.

    If we are right that would make you wrong and insta airships makes sense then. Cool now we can close this awful thread. Or we can understand that both options will be in the game so stop crying.

    P.S.
    there are plenty of games without gravity and other random bits (mario galaxy) and they were fun as hell. Just a FYI. and it made perfect sense in that game.

    You're the only one claiming everything has to make sense, the only one taking these things out should appease is you. I personally have no problem with not everything making sense and therefore have no problem with this content. You do realize you're running with a self-defeating argument, right?

    You apparently don't see the point I'm trying to make.
