Can we get direct leve quest missions from Aeth

Would you like some more straws?

It wouldn't be any different than doing your 8 leves every day except you can do a weeks worth in 1 day. It already has a limit because you can only get 4 every 12 hours. What's the difference from what GC leves already let you do?

Would you like a valid counter-argument so you don't have to resort to using the all too often wrongly used strawman defense?

Your example would be correct if we already were able to get leves at the aetheryte, but since we aren't, it is not a direct comparison. It takes time and as you so eliquently pointed out, time is a tool the devs use to preserve the lifespan of the game. And this is, after all, what we are talking about. Making it faster to do leves by getting them directly at the aetheryte.

Did you miss the part where you can already do this by doing GC leves? What would the difference be if the rest of leves were like that? Do you think GA is unlimited?

The only people that get any benefit from GC leves are again only combat which barely needed any more help.

NO you reread what I said, obviously I mean within one hour as opposed to 12.

News flash for you, the majority of gamers out there are casual, the bigger this game becomes the more casual the influence will become, just look at that other MMO.

Most people have lives, work, spouses, partners, children and the rest of it, they don't want these silly little time restraints messing up their life just so they can play a game, we aren't in the 90's anymore where MMO's used to be full of time sinks and relentless nonscene to impede our progression we have since moved on from all that.

SE have been taking out more and more of this kind of nonscene that Tanaka put in the game, fatigue, crafting parts, changing the XP curve, adding chains and links, its all to help make the game more accesible to the non hardcore player.

People want to get online and do something with their time, they don't want to be running around the majority of the time or standing in a city state shouting, those are things of the past.

Casual players don't currently have a problem using anima to port to a favored aetheryte for leves and returning to get more. They have tons of anima to spare since they don't play much. After all, they are only going to be logged in for an hour or two at most. This was exactly my point in the beginning.

The only people this would benefit are those that literally play all the time. So don't argue for casuals because this has nothing to do with casual players.

Grand company leves also take longer, are mind-numbingly borning, and the rewards are less than stellar. Next to nobody does them at all and with good reason.

if you are truly a casual player your anima will last for what you need it for so i see no need in the OP request. i seen some1 say they want to get rid of anima tele's altogether, this would be a very bad idea anima makes it much easier for party's to move around. get rid of anima any only the camps outside of ul'dah will be used

Im far from Casual I have 90 Anima at the moment (because its like gold dust), but yes you have a point, Casuals don't need these changes the hard core player does.

Because I don't want to waste time leveling gathering and crafting when I have better things to do like exping, farming materia, fighting bosses and doing dungeons.

If you really can't see why people might want this as a way to make the game more accessible then you must be incredibly short sighted.

I may not consider myself Casual but that doesn't mean I'm happy to forgo my life and spend 6-7 hours playing a day either, get some perspective please.

Would help the game on a much easyer note for solo players if we could get leve quests from the Aethright instead of the city guild leve.

Even if we ran outta leves at that location we could get more right from the Aethright instead of having to return to the city.

At the very least, give us the option of repeating the levequests we have instead of having to run back to the city to pick up the same exact quests (I'm looking at you, Camp Tranquil Botanist leves).

This would also make some sense from a lore standpoint. Don't we all have Adventurer's Guild linkpearls, and isn't the Aetheryte used for communication via linkpearl as well as fast travel?

On the other hand, we kinda need any excuse we can find to go back to cities that aren't Ul'dah.

just one problem with your linkpearl idea, we need the leve card to start the quest and from what i can tell the linkperl is like a phone, and a card can not be sent over the phone

We need Android Linkpearls then.

But I don't like the idea of Momodi using my Linkpearl data for targeted advertising.

I honestly don't see what's the big problem of getting leves at the aetherytes you do them at?

So we don't have to travel every 2 seconds back to town when we use up those leves. I mean if we have 99 leves, we are supposed to spend anima going back and forth for all those leves or use a chocobo? That's just a waste of time going back and forth. It's just like the "local leves" that aren't really local considering you have to travel for 10 minutes just to get 1500 exp on average... yeah

Just get over it people, you wouldn't b**** if it was like that already
