"By your logic" is a very sound base for an argument because it introduces similar examples to what you are proposing and perhaps then you can see the flaw of your logic in the ideas you proposed, yes?
/sigh ok then By YOUR logic everything that makes traveling or anything easier to do is simply turning the game into easy mode. So lets turn the game into hard mode. Get rid of parting make everyone have to solo everything in game. get rid of running and make everyone walk. Only make Linkshell members be able to talk to each other if in the same zone. Make everything in game 1% drop. Do you see how I used your same concept to point out your flaws? that's the reason it is a pointless base concept because it can be taken anyway. Taking 5 mins 1 min 1 sec 20mins to get to a single city does not completely kill the game, dumb it down, makes it easy or makes it hard you still have to run to your destination. Getting somewhere 5 mins faster simply will not change how long you play the game. Lack of content will change that. since you love this concept so much. By YOUR logic i can say that you think chocobo's and airships are already a horrible idea simply because you get to your destination much faster so dumb the game down and turns it into Easy mode.
