Increasing teleport fees is a regressive tax. It's not a good idea.

[Risvertasashi]

Increasing teleport fees is effectively a regressive tax: "A regressive tax is a tax applied uniformly, taking a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners."

I don't think this is the right solution for adding more gil sinks. It's not going to have a tangible effect on the gil-billionaires, but it will affect new players and those without much gil generally.

Nah, its fine. Public transport costs always go up

No teleport taxation without teleport representation!

It's like nothing, also new players don't really need to teleport between places that are far away from each other, plus you can just set your home to aetherytes as you progress.

If you're established with a solid amount of money to spare, it is indeed.

It's called doing roulettes.

I teleported a lot when I started out. So many back and forth runs between towns, probably the only thing I really disliked at first.

Pray return to the waking sand moment.

Given that they've said some routes will be cheaper than they are currently, I'm guessing it will mostly balance out. By the time you're in a position to regularly be teleporting to various far flung destinations you'll likely have been able to accrue enough gil (and/or Aetheryte tickets) anyway. And before that point it may actually be cheaper for you than now.

A new player is not going to be teleporting to the Crystarium for 1,442 gil. If anything their fees will be reduced if they're teleporting from Uldah to Black Brush Station etc... We'll be fine.
