anima removal npc <can i have it>

[Nidget]

I just dont understand the point of putting in a NPC that will remove your anima. Just dont use it. And if you want to spend the hour on a chocobo to get to camp Dragonhead while the party tele's, dont be mad when they arent there anymore. Taking away the anima doesnt really solve anything without something else in its place. Give us the Outposts with the warps and a few teleports and im game. Alot of people dont have all day everyday to play, so why would we want to spend all that time on a chocobo and then its time to go to bed?

Sounds good to me. Call the NPC "Johnny Hardcore". When you talk to him, he says two things "You want the truth?" "You can't handle the truth!". With a nice little Yes/No dialog.

Selecting Yes garners the player the following benefits:

No Anima
No Teleporting.
XP for levelling reduced to 0 when not in a full party.
When you die, if you don't get a rez you lose 20%xp to next level, 10% if you get a rez. Losing levels possible.
NM spawns set to 72 hour timers.
Anytime you try to claim an NM, an NPC will spawn and steal your claim, it will then proceed to pwn in front of your face.

Did I miss anything?

Why don't you all cut off your noses to spite your face?

Or cut off your face to spite your nose ?

The NPC mechanic i suggested would be optional just like getting a goobue. If you wish to play how you have been then no need to talk to him/her. Please refer to the 2 links in the op to see plenty of post about people who dont want to teleport.

I can see this going in a very wrong direction...

Please continue.

Final Fantasy XIV is a MMO. Its whole concept is based on players interacting with each other and sharing the same virtual word. Think about what that means for this topic, if you can manage.

And while you're at it, try considering more than the extremes of a discussion instead of seeing everything in black and white.

Speaking of the word manage, I "managed" to come up with an idea that should please party's on both sides of the line. Players who want to teleport would have their anima stay as it has been. Players who dont want to teleport can opt to use the "anima wipe npc", name pending of course.

And for anyone who has not kept track of post, I would in fact keep my anima, this is a selfless idea to benefit players who don't want to teleport. Sometimes you just gotta think about others.

I would love for SE to make an anima removal npc that would remove all anima permanently (optional for people who dont want anima anymore). Just visit the npc and he will remove it for you. That way people who don't want anima can stop trying to change the game for everyone that likes anima. We would all be able to coexist in a world with no more "remove teleporting threads".


EDIT: adding links to help keep thread on topic.


Because of the number of post not relating to the anima NPC and post specifically on the pros and cons of anima, I will include these 2 links to debate anima itself unrelated to the function of an anima NPC. Please feel free to post in these already established threads as they will be more appropriate to you concerns to anima as a whole.

Also please note, this NPC would not restore anima in anyway, it would just be an optional means of removal for people who want to increase their immersion.

doubt any of them ll do that XD

It seems you ignored my advice to think about how this game works.

Oh well, I guess ignorance is bliss for some.
