Intra-city travel

[Katella_Avenlea]

Not sure why it would be an issue to anyone as its optional. You aren't forced to use it. I wouldn't mind it personally. Its not even a new thought, Windurst had intra-city travel in FFXI.

It's not like you're being forced to use it.

i kind of wish there were subways or something in 2.0 XD

a lot of the times mmo cities really don't feel like cities as much as they just feel like a bunch of useless crap surrounding a path to the auction house.

Indeed, that's why I liked XI's cities (and even small towns) because they felt like cities/out of the way port villages. Which is what people hated about it because the cities weren't "useless" because it wasn't designed as a glorified AH hub.

i just can't figure out why anyone would be against this. sure, i will most likely never use it myself, but if it makes the game enjoyable for someone else with less time what does it hurt me? at the end of the day we have to remember this is a game and games are meant to be fun. the last thing we should be doing is complaining they are adding in something to make the game more fun if it won't even effect us.

You don't like it? You don't use it!
It's not such a tremendous thing. (As Jump is)

If you take the time to think about it for even a minute, it does make sense why someone would be against it because it's just yet another step is "teleport everywhere!" way of life. Soon we'll be able to teleport to all class/job guilds, then to all battlefields (if they ever implement), then we'll be able to teleport to cities we've never been too, to hamlets, hell we'll probably be able to teleport to the top of the Crystal Tower as an "option for those who want to just fight the boss."

It's a gateway system to other things. Whether you like that or not is your personal opinion, but it does make sense why someone can hate the idea, after all humans can like or hate things as they please.

Hmm.. This thread has been quite interesting. I always wonder what people who live in their parent's basement complain about on a regular basis. And now.. I wonder no more.

To all those who have posted "if you don't like it don't use it", that I would think, is the sane rational approach to a situation such as this. However, in saying that, you assume your audience is either of those things. For the same reason I would tell you not to hold your breath attempting to explain this philosophy to a gold fish, I would advise you not to hold your breath hoping it will be understood here.

All these neat little features SE is adding into the game will definitely give it a bunch of random selling points come 2.0 which will hopefully attract a broader audience.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, proportionality, get some.

no, the point is even if they added everything you pointed out you still have the choice. you could either teleport to the areas to get their quickly or you could do like i do and walk there anyways. i play everyday and i am almost always at 100 anima because i choose to walk places. i don't look down on others for not having any though because they made the choice to port somewhere.

it's a gateway to people getting places faster is they wish. you, however, are not forced to do the same. it's adding an option not forcing something.
