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

[Perrin_Aybarra]

This makes no sense, even in XI, as long as someone had a WHM you could teleport anywhere in the world where there was a crystal, not go to the crystal every time in order to teleport. Besides, our only mode of transportation right now is teleports, this game is hurting as it is, no need to make it worse.

FFXI =/= FFVIX.

In FFXI it was a WHM spell that was casted and teleported you to the crystal IF you acquired the crystal 1st. In FFXIV it's a network of crystal flow. It doesn't make sense to be able to teleport from anywhere if you are not near a node since you kinda "enter" the flow to go somewhere.

Yes I understand this game is not XI. My point is this game has no other mode of getting around...how about we wait for taking away teleporting until their are other ways I.E. Chocobos, Airships, something! Then maybe we revisit removing Anima teleportation? Just a thought, people seem to be getting ahead of themselves with stuff like this. One thing at a time! :P

yeah that's for sure. The OP does say when there are other means of transportation. Right now it's the only thing we got, altho I still think one should acquire the "node" before being able to teleport or be teleported there.

I'd like to believe the origin of this system came from that point.

but this traveling concept that supposedly compensates for the lack thereof is ruining the game, albeit in small ways.
It adds up.

IMO, an abundance of conveniences isn't a plus in this game. If it was only Crystal to Crystal it would have been accepted; Without hindering the game and or deriving too much personal time.

I'm all up for modifying it to node 2 node (at the minimum!) before any new players come, and especially before we get our maps redesigned.

This games attempts at accommodating for the players is making it look weak.

Yeah not me. I don't play as many hours as many people play on here. I play 2...maybe 3 nights a week for min of 1 hour and a max of 3 hours...that is less than 10 hours a week. For someone like me, I really do require the mode of transport that is now, I never hit 0 Anima. It wouldn't be fair to a player like me to log on and not have aetheryte to aetheryte transport so I can quickly grab my leves and head to crystals quickly so I can play and enjoy. So the current system works in a players benefit such as mine, someone who really can't devote the time to play that many can.

Wait...please don't misunderstand me.

I'm fighting for aetheryte to aetheryte transportation only. The difference is us being close to a crystal in order teleport to another aetheryte, instead of anywhere to aetheryte tele's.

Or am I misunderstanding you

What I am saying is I am enjoying the current way it's working (minus the cheating bit someone above told me about) I don't like the fact that I need to be in proximity to the crystal. For someone who has little time to play, less than 10 hours a week, every second is precious. I like being at the counter, grabbing my leves opening up tele, and voila, I'm at the aetheryte of my choice to get started on leveling.

They don't care that we have little time to play the game - they will just tell us to not play.

They don't care that we enjoy being able to actually play the game with our little time to play instead of travel it all away - they will just tell us since they enjoy using most of their time traveling, that we should be forced to do so as well.

Sorry, you are preaching to the choir to get these people to care about anyone but themselves - they rather take away our option simply because they do not want anyone to use an option if they don't use it.

It's hard to argue with that, not only since there have been moments when I was limited with time and needed this convenience, but because that is how we've become accustomed to playing this game.

In my opinion, aetheryte only teleportation is a good middle-ground. The distance from a leve counter to the city's aetheryte isn't too far and it doesn't hinder other pieces of this game so much.
