Should SP be received for discovering new camps and nodes?

It really wouldn't be discovering it anyways, since we have a map with everything on it at all times.

This is something else I'd like to see addressed. Hopefully for new zones, we don't automatically have the map, or at the very least, reveal the terrain as we uncover it.

@Preypacer, thank you for that eloquent counterargument. However, I disagree with your statement, "Please, let's not turn FFXIV into yet another MMO where everything has an xp/sp reward attached to it in order to get players interested. "

If it's one thing this game needs, it's more player interest. Many of the rewards in the game right now are not worth the time invested. If the terrain was more varied, sure more people might want to go check it out, but since it's not, SP seems a harmless enough carrot to promote exploration.

Your other concerns such as chocobos making it too easy are valid, but we're still not sure to what degree we'll be able too ride them. Maybe they won't want to travel to the higher rank camps. "You're chocobo will go no further." Something like that would be easy enough to implement.
