Suggestion. Resting bonus should be available in other locations

The outposts don't have Inns and I don't want to sleep in a shed.

The outposts ARE inns. They're the size of a shed, to be sure, but "The Coffer and Coffin" and "The Red Rooster Stead" are both literally described as inns.

all it would be is you talk to the NPC, pay a fee, and log out in close proximity to the site.

In real life, inns and motels are all over the place, not just in cities. I find it amazing that anyone finds this to be a big deal.

From what I remember you can gain rested XP anywhere in WoW when you log out it just regenerates fasters in a city/Inn.

I see no problem with this, of course you will always get that group of people who think this is easy mode.

We still have 49 levels to be added yet so I wouldn't get too bent out of shape.

They need Gil sinks in the game, and you having to rent the room for this is a good idea

From the loadstone...
Inns can be used free of charge, and provide the following functions.

This is the SE community we're talking about. "Time" equates "Challenge" for some oddball reason. Wasting an extra two minutes doing literally nothing but running to an inn is "challenge", and if you don't want to do that, you're an easymode casual.

It's not that SE can't seem to differentiate between a good time sink and a bad, or isn't doing a good job of hiding timesinks (the job of any MMO company), or is simply failing to meet/understand the standards set by other top tier MMOs do, it's that *you're bad* because you'd rather play the game than do pointless running prior to every logout.

As a side note, what's the point of empty, uncustomizable rooms anyway? I really think they just needed an excuse to keep them from being almost entirely worthless. You know, they can now claim "player residences" due to cut-scene viewing and rested EXP, even though there's almost no point to them.

>_>
Lol.
People whining because rested exp comes from an Inn.
You know, if you rest out on the street that makes you a hobo.
People go home to rest, or hotels, or inns etc.
They don't sleep in the ditch outside.

Derp.

IMO it seems like they are trying to implement as many player amenities/quality of life type stuff as they possibly can in the current engine (which is muuuch appreciated). Methinks that they need an area for the engine to recognize "you are in an area that gives you rested XP" because it might not be able to recognize those types of "boundaries" in the open world... if that makes sense. I'd rather not wait till 2.0 for the rested XP to be implemented and this was probably the most immediate solution.

[Alhanelem]

The inns in the cities are meant to be used by players before they obtain a full on residence, which will take time and work to obtain, unlike the inns, which require minimal effort to gain access to. While it is mostly a pre-2.0 accomodation, it has a purpose even in the grand scheme of things.

Again, they're simply implementing stuff that was partilally made already by the previous team.

Personally I would rather this happen.
Let them put their efforts into making 2.0 awesome!

This is sarcasm ... RIGHT !! ?

I guess it won't matter too much, you can just return to Ul'dah and run to the INN anyway, I just think having the HP at the INN would make it more streamlined.

Actually, no, even though my usage of caps could lead one to believe that. I honestly feel that if you want rested EXP, you should run to an Inn. If you don't care, log out wherever.

I will always be in an Inn when I go to bed.
