Abolish Anima - Implementation of Airships and Chocobos

[Spuffin]

You either have outpost warps or open world. You can't have both. It's either FFXI or FFXI. FFXIV cannot do both. Outpost warps spoil the game. If you have Outpost warps, you can't have content that spans the realm. If people port, they won't walk. They'll never explore. They'll just zoom around and never see anything ever.

My question is: What logic do you have to back that up?

Nobody ever mention outpost warps. That would be another good reason how removing anima would still be different than 14. And yes I agree with you. Anima is pretty much a copy paste of Out Post Warps but at least Out Post Warps were only accessible through territorial control which was affected by the players activity within that specific area in a certain period of time. not all players had access to outpost warps my good friend.

Out Post Warps actually created content and had it's + and - .

Yeah, like Anima doesn't have any limitations to it? At least in XI you only had to pay a meaningless amount of gil so the downside were pretty much nonexistant when you got access to the teleports. Until then, have fun running between La Theine and Ronfaure with your level 15 job. Here everyone stands on an equal ground. You teleport too many times, you have no Anima and need to deal with it. You don't get away with having tons of cash.

And I'm sure the people with no access to OP warps for reasons pretty much outside their control were so happy about it. "Hey, look, Bastok simply sucks, and that's why you can't teleport anywhere. That's why the system is so brilliant man!"

I remember having to explain to my RL friends why I can teleport to Qufim and they need to take the chocobo because Bastok didn't have control over the region for like, 6 weeks in a row. So goddamn annoying.

It's all about locking out content from other people isn't it?

I agree with your whole rage, there... but this just hits the nail on the head. This is the source of about 80% of the spirited debates around here. "I won't feel special until I have something you don't and the security to know that you, with your job and family and life, won't ever catch up to me." This is the world of MMO.

There are better, far less annoying ways to do this.
