Sooo...Question...

Then what else are they going to be used for?

Immersion. If they actually took the time to actually do so.

Oh, you mean like how people suggest a million ways to force people to walk instead of teleporting for the sake of immersion? Sorry, but I got things to do and I was already immersed by airships the first time.

Yes. You know. Actual transportation. What's the point in making such a beautiful world when you are in no zone for more than 2 minutes UNLESS you're doing some sort of quest. Quick and easy? So let's create more face roll stuff because we have things to do guys. Let's keep nerfing things so we can get by it fast because we have -things to do-. Right? Right?

Please. Add some life into this game. It can start somewhere. Something as simple as actually making you stay in a zone for more than 1 minute.

For starters, you have to atune before you can port and the airships are the quickest means for intercity travel. Next, gil is an issue for some players. When I joined, one of my FC mates offered to give me a million gil, and I refused it because I wanted to learn how to acquire it on my own. Many players would not do the same and take the gil, resulting in never learning how to acquire their own funds and struggling when what they want/need is out of their means. Kind of like throwing a zoo animal into the wild and expecting it to know how to hunt for itself.

Next, gil rewards are very minimal in the beginning, I definitely remember not having the luxury of porting liberally like I do now at lv15 when I got access to airships. Nopee.

Then you also have players like me, who hoard gil lol. I still take airships to the related city of my objective for the cheaper ports all the time. The difference in time is definitely not worth what you save in gil lol. We're talking seconds opposed to minutes. Not to mention whatever objective you're doing will likely replenish the port cost. So I obviously take them for another reason. It's a nice little break to check the notifications on my phone
