    Do it on your freetime if you wants to enjoy the scenery, since you have so much time to watch the scenery. The novelty of riding airship/boat is gone after the first time. There are alot of scenarios in FFXI which makes alot of people facepalmed because of this dumb as *** rides.

    There are times when i got back late from work, people are already gathered at einherjar spot but to get there you need to ride a boat to that whatever town from whitegate and makes the other players waits even longer just for the sake of me, in the end events could get pushed 1hour behind schedule.

    I am not sure where is the fun or how do i find the decency in keeping the others waiting because i wanted to enjoy the scenery, but each to their own.

    THAT'S WHAT ANIMA IS FOR.

    If you had a "long day at work" like your examples say.. a long day of work is usually what? 9-5? Which is 8 hours. Isn't that 2 anima you get back? So teleport. Don't insta port the ferry/airship ride. That's just silly. You pay to fly across the world to skip it while other people are still on it? That doesn't even make sense...

    Really people? What happened to patience and immersion in games.

    I suppose I should walk to work for 3 hours everyday. Why pay for the gas I burn when I could walk and watch the scenery.


    And lol at the OP, that extra chromosome is really acting up.

    Good for you that you can conserve alot of animas and love walking so much across the world, do you also play solo most of the time? for me, i don't have much anima to conserve, i have to teleport to actually do contents without wasting other people's times.

    Again, they are having both options available, If you have patience and are so in love with immersion in games, go ahead and ride the airship. Why can't both options co-exist? It made both sides happier, at this point, people that is against the idea of instant-airship are just whining for the sake of it, there is no justified reason.

    I was thinking it would be nice to have just a short ride like a couple of minutes until I read this.
    I completely forgot how long it could take to get to some places.
    I remember spending over an hour getting from Whitegate back to Bastok >_>

    I wasted about half an hour because on the second ship I got on was attacked by those skeles and some asshole kited them inside.

    I hated travelling to that place, and I'm glad I never got too high tbh since I never had to put up with exploring even further to places that take even longer to get to.
