    The whole point for chocobo's, Airship, Teleports are to get to the point B faster. They have never been put into a game for lore or anything else but faster travel. most people who need to use these fast travels are on some type of time limit and 10-15mins does matter. I can't tell you how many times people have been kicked or left behind because they couldn't get somewhere fast enough. In games time is of the essence people will not always wait for you because then you are wasting their time. So yes you need some type of instant travel in games. all games have them and always will have them. Yes airship rides and walking are nice the 1st couple of times. but be serious after you do it 2-3 times its just repeative and boring. take real life things for example. many ways to travel. walking is the best way to travel. you get good exercise, get to meet people, get to take your time and enjoy the journey. or you can take a car or bus and get there before the day ends and do what you need to get done. by the time you get done enjoying your lovely 30min walk to ul'dah. I could take the instant route and get done what I needed there and be doing other things making the most of my limited play time. If you seriously have more fun riding a 10 min airship or taking 30mins to walk from point A to point B. then getting to point B quickly and actually doing something. then you must be the most boring person on earth. I'm sorry not everyone has the same amount of time to waste on games and other things.

    Once again most of you confuse Time with difficulty. walking from point A to B is never hard never was never will be. it just takes more time. why its called a Time sink. Something is hard when you can't do it alone. and even with others its still takes skill to do it correctly. If pushing W is hard for you or standing on an airship I suggest stop playing games.

    Stop comparing FFXI to FFXIV the games have been different from day one. FFXI= they took there time and made it right. so of course its going to be better. XIV was released before it was even half way completed and that's the one and only reason that it failed. every other reason you guys keep coming up with ties into that. so yes of course its not going to have the lore and everything you had with XI, you're an idiot if you think otherwise.

    And one last thing.
    Az will you please shut the hell up already about instant level ups and gear. you constantly make yourself look very stupid every time you say it. Just because people want to travel faster does not mean they want everything in the entire world to be easier or think it should. killing Enemies, Leveling up, getting gear is the CORE of the game without it there is no game. by that logic, I can say you want everything in the game to take A lot of time to complete. so lets add 6hour boss fights. and take years just to hit max level. lets Take out every way to travel and auto-run and make people walk everywhere. You see how stupid and Ridiculous that sounds? So please for your own good shut up.
