    [dev10??] Please allow Teleportation only at an Aetheryte

    SE Dev team, please ween us off of this "Jumper" ability and limit it's use to only around an Aetheryte.

    I can't speak for everyone but I've been spoiled by it.

    Treading to our crystallized wonders won't kill us plus they're already positioned in the right places.

    Make us at least work for where we have to go.
    Initially, you'll hear grumps; In the end we'll appreciate everything more.

    Jobeto-

    Edit:
    I should state I'm not asking to get rid of anima/teleportation. I just believe it's beneficial for us and the game to actually make the aetherytes the only place where you are allowed to use anima/teleportation.

    This change would be especially ideal for when other means of transportation are available. Airships, Chocobos, Boats. Limiting it as such keeps the usefulness in these alternate means.


    Variously valuable ideas were also mentioned as an alternate way we use our anima.

    • Anima system changes:
      • Implement Aetheryte teleportation system: City <--> Camp <--> Gate, not Anywhere --> Any Camp
      • Teleport is now an Aetheryte option, not a menu option.
      • Return has 10-minute timer and lets player choose either their homepoint or the nearest Aetheryte they've been attuned to.
      • Anima removed.

    Please hear us out SE, these ideas are ropes that would make climbing this mmorpg mountain a bit more enjoyable and challenging.

When the world has land that allows you to not be involved in it by teleporting past it all the time, you will get a game world such as this. Empty, void of activity and just dull.

    Notice the cities, Ul'dah to be exact, since it remains the city with the most inhabitants. Can you see how it feels more lively and occupied with everyone running around being busy and active? It's because you have to go through the city, you can't teleport to the Alchemist guild or a specific shop, you have to run there. This activity is whats involving you in the city, you can't skip over the city's land. This same feeling of occupancy can be carried over thru Eorzea.

    People say walking to an aetheryte is a time sink. The same time it takes to run to an inner-city guild, is the same amount or less to go to an aetheryte. This movement helps make it feel like an active area when you notice people doing the same things, going the same places just as you. But if the majority of the people continue to choose to skip pass the middle ground (the land) by teleporting, it will always remain as such.

    Please give importance back to the land, so it can feel lively and occupied.
