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

[Fated]

Exactly how is that a restriction?
You can still teleport

Just because the second post pointed out the irrelevance of your "idea" doesn't mean the concept doesn't restrict player mobility.

Scenario A: I can spend points to teleport to Aetherytes from anywhere in the game.

Scenario B: I can spend points to teleport to Aetherytes ONLY from another Aetheryte. That means if I wanted to get out of the middle of nowhere, I can't do it. I have to first run (on foot because again, there is NO OTHER WAY TO MOVE) to an Aetheryte before I can teleport to another Aetheryte.

Do you understand the concept of a restriction?

First off, we aren't restricted at all, so your point is irrelevant. What would you do if you did have chocobos/airships?
Would you use them or our "restricted" teleportation ability?

In other words, how were we in the first place restricted by being able to go anywhere?

Edit: I understood the restriction part, what I didn't understand was where there was some sort of restriction at in the beginning.

Well with the new changes in Guildleves in the letter today, it seems travel back and fourth between cities is going to increase tenfold.

Therefore we really need speedy transportation, even if it comes from a chocobo license involved in going to all three cities.
Eventually we need airships but I can understand those waiting until Ishgard, but we really need chocobos or quick travel that's not depending on the amount of time you've been choosing not to teleport.

I would agree with the OP IF we actually had chocobos. As of right now, I feel like I spend way too much time power-walking here and there, and not enough time fighting.

I definitely agree with the OP, here is my vote to change the way teleportation works!

[BlakeRhakki]

I definitely agree with the OP as well, for me it takes away from some of the immersion. I would much rather have a Chocobo to ride back to camp on.

hopefully while your doing it you get killed for being lazy.

I cant believe there is a second post with a whole bunch of zip zip zipers.

Teleporting freely, ruins/breaks/f***s this game for all players. Some aren't even aware of it.

1. The world feels empty because you rarely see players running across the landscape. They're not encouraged to unless they have no anima or get bored because they've been teleporting too much.
Edit: That's why players despise running now because they're used to teleporting there freely. Which is why I suggested making us atleast run to aetherytes, so that the idea of running doesn't seem so time wasting/boring/long

2. It makes the game able to be rushed and the game doesn't feel large scale anymore.

3. It will make chocobos and airships worthless.

The majority of all players will still teleport. Your in denial if you don't think so.

4. All areas looses its potential "Goddamn it took me a long and hard time to get here, but it sure was worth it!" feeling.

Imagine freely teleporting to FFXI's Norg, FF7's Round Island or FF8's Battleship Island?
Totally sucks the enigma from those places when you can see them whenever you want without any kinda effort.
Point...click....your there...ooooh Norg.

If it stays people will have a false sense of achievement of the game. Making it very boring to most adventurers, real fast.

Don't remove it, just severely limit this game hindering system.

Posted this in the other thread, reposting here too. Somethign seriously needs to be done
