Abolishing Anima

[Eekiki]

/facepalm

Let me answer AGAIN.

Anima is fine the way it is right now, and it should be reduced after chocobos and airships are introduced. I rarely get below 50 anima because I don't abuse it to go places that I have time to walk to. I save it for those occasions where I need to get to a waiting party right away.

If you don't have time to run to where you want to go, then you don't have enough time to play anyway.

at this point i am expecting a dev to jump in so would a dev please elaborate on SE's stance on people running multiple accounts at the same time to use dif characters anima on their main character and people having their mules tag along on quest, leves, and behest for extra gil rewards then transferring the gil to their main account. If SE can confirm this is legitimate game play then i will say it is not cheating.

this is a copy/paste from another thread aimed at dev team. the thread got locked but they didnt answer the question.

Because it was off-topic. Post this question in a new thread if it's that important to you.

it was on topic, it had to do with anima abuse and the topic was on anima.

The topic was on the possibility of removing the anima requirement for teleporting because the OP doesn't want to be bothered with proactively managing his anima usage.

You want a GM to tell you that one person being logged onto two or more different characters at once is a form of cheating (it isn't, or you wouldn't be allowed to do it).

I do currently have 83 anima at the moment ingame, and I play for hours per day every day. I am speaking for those who cannot seem to manage it so well, and have no alternative but to shut the game down if they'd rather not do DoL/DoH.

I don't want to be bothered with managing my anima either. Watching paint dry is more exciting than running for 45 minutes through the world of eorzea. Running out of anima is just a reason to stop playing. period. Thats when people go play other games, do other things, and your game slowly dies.

Teleport needs to be converted to a spell, the end.

That's just fine! That's all I was looking to hear! Thank you! Now, we can continue without being jerks?

Pretty much this. Anima is meant to be used by casual players who don't have the time to travel to a place. If you're low on anima you are either 1.) Not a casual player or 2.) Are burning through your anima to get to Bearded Rock when you're in Limsa.

And what to do if you need to get to Bearded Rock if you're in Gridania and you don't have 3 anima to spare? Make an hour run?

Asking myself why I don't have 3 animas in the first place? I would run to La Noscea because I was to wastful with my anima and would recheck my favorite camp list.

Situation.

No anima, but you can run to any aetheryte and then from there you can teleport to anyone that you have touched at all...

No anima-recharge, options to teleport still there.

What say you?

Edit:

My stance has always been the over convenience of teleporting. I really hate to say "forcing" us to run would amount to a better experience but thats what I believe. That's why I suggested that.
