Yo Yosh, Can you please disable the ability to teleport?

[KiriA500]

Took me 30 minutes on FF11 to deliver an item for my Samurai Quest. Not only that i had to travel between areas...but i had to avoid also the Monsters out there. I knew most of the areas by hand...so...this teleport system is enjoyable...BUT...it not ok to have it.

I mean, yes, please...Teleport from Uldah to LL to Gridania...and thats it!

You want to go to Mordhona...take a sandwich...bring some Cola/Water, etc...press Auto RUn...and do your thing!

So, teleporting there is bad, but having the game run for you in a straight line is good?

No! Make it to where running in the open world requires a thousand keystrokes per step, so that way no filthy "I have a life" players can taint this game with their "not everything in this game needs to be a huge chore" nonsense!

Just bring the old Shroud, you had to be paying attention all the time to navigate that, no way to go on a straight line there for more than 3 steps. I really liked it, but I understand perfectly why people hated it and are glad it's long gone.

Stop trying to force your preferences on everyone else. If you don't want to use teleports, don't. Walk, run, use chocobos, whatever. Teleporting is a game system that the developers want and is accepted by the majority of the playerbase. It's not going away.

OP & other teleport haters are the grandfathers of this game. Shouting at the rest of us to get off their lawns, reminiscing "In my day if you wanted to get from Gridania to Revenant's Toll you ran. And you like it! Hmph.” & the Unending Journals in the Inn Rooms are blinking 12:00.

Also, for the love of god, enough with the different forms of in game currency. No to Anima.

I do believe it's too late to limit the teleporting now.

I wish the only Aetherytes were in the main hubs: Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, Ishgard, Revenant's Toll. To get anywhere else you'd have to run from the cities to get there. It would make the less-traveled zones feel a bit more alive and therefor the game world more alive as a whole. But alas, far too late.

[Niwashi]

I don't think we need a separate currency for it. I am a bit surprised it doesn't have a cooldown, though. It seems a little backward that Return (which already has the 1 location limitation) has a cooldown, whereas Teleport doesn't. The other way around would make more sense.

[OdinEon]

I'm a working class, married, with kids kind of guy and only a limited amount of time to play. Running from here to there delivering salad is not what I am looking to do with my time. Dont get me wrong, I love exploring and running around helping others level, but sometimes u gotta fly. Having the option is great, but if you don't like it don't use it.

Snip

In regards to your whole argument about teleports. This is only 2.0.... I recall Yoshi-P saying @ E3 that 3.0 would make the world nearly double, and who knows who big it will become in 4.0. Patience young grasshopper We'll get to that 100 miles sooner than you think. Then you'll be begging for a swifter means of travel.

[Skander]

I think the OP is more referring to what consequences the ease of travel place on content in place, rather than what he would like to do (or see others do) personally. Difficulty in commute can have a lot of positive effects, even if not particularly well received. It would stimulate the economy, reduce RMT activity, encourage camping over exploitation... An open 'world' is less a world and more like a group of rooms that all connect to one another as it stands. And less immediate transport would undoubtedly do a lot to change that.

[Karnyboy]

So you're saying because you don't like some aspect of the game you want it changed for everyone? Too bad, I like teleporting.
