Please don't add the autorun

[Voidmage]

I am all for it. The MSQ is very long now. It's become a standard MMO feature, and I don't think in a game like FFXIV that doesn't have a ton of exploration it would take away much. but you can always just not autorun when you want to explore.

They should absolutely have it.

I fail to see how that solves a problem.
Instead of an auto run why not make the story more engaging?

Tbh I don't see what that feature would actually add because it doesn't solve a problem in the first place.
Even mobile games don't use it too much because games like Genshin focus on exploration.

Make the overworld zones smaller again, bring more gameplay between quests and tone down the back and forth. That would be the actuall lessons learned.

I don't think an auto run would damage anything but it's an entirely unneeded thing in anything that is not on a phone.
What I do have to say though is to keep teleporting to quest targets out of the game.

Then I don't know what to tell you, the connection is clear as day to anyone who has been here long enough.
It is a fact that they have stopped using certain mechanics, any kind of "interactable" in the environment for example, because the trust NPCs can't do them, going so far as to rework old dungeons to remove those mechanics from them as well.

Give me source please. Because even solo run with trust, you can interact with props or any other clickable mech. Halatalli chains are no problem for example.

Oh my god this thread and entire forum really is all about crying over stupid things.

If you don’t want to auto-run, don’t press the auto-run button, life is simple as that my goodness. Some will enjoy that features, and other won’t. World isn’t black and white.

Again, nobody will force you to use auto-run.

The worst lesson Yoshi P can learn is to make this game more like a mobile game.

Seems like a mobile version will come at some point. I don't mind the auto run - so long as it's optional.

Pretty sure Thousand Maws is quite literally the only reworked dungeon that removed any environmental interactivity outside of boss fights.

It’s not that simple. They will start designing maps with this feature in mind. What’s the point of making beautiful locations that are fun to explore when most players just hit auto-run and alt+tab? And what’s next? Auto-duty? Auto-ultimate?

Finally someone with common sense.

All maps are already empty and way too big. Same goes for duties since ARR. I wouldn’t mind hitting auto-run during CT roulette for example.

This is just a bonus you’re free to use or not. And we don’t know if they going to design maps over one basic button. That’s way too extreme way of thinking and overly dramatic if you want my opinion.

Also reminder that, we don’t know for sure this feature will happen and you guys are already all over the place.

Trust system exists for people wanting to play alone, I don’t see the connection with it and the fact dungeons are all same easy design.

Is this some sort of copium/denial? They pretty much has dumbed down dungeons (especially ARR ones) ever since they introduce Duty Support. Heck, I suspect that AST card changes in ShB is due to Trust AI not really good with the rng system.

Even optional, adding auto run feature means they have to be extra mindful of how the overworld works. Personally I don't think what we have currently are the pinnacle of complex, well-designed overworld maps. But if they did made auto run, I believe it would bring more cons than pros when it comes to map design.
