    you can say that all you want, but it does not mean that what i say is not true.

    severely outdated and slow, period.

    this is mostly why people quit games like this early, and now that sprint is nerfed, those below level 20 are going to experience an much more slower game than when we first started. imagine that.

    respectively, there are those whom have pushed through. but that does not mean they should live with the unnecessary hardships the game offers, and not say anything about it.

    I agreed that the sprint nerf is uncalled for, but I disagree with having to work for the extra mount speed. Looking at it from another perspective, a new player can see a veteran player zooming in faster across the map and be impress and curious for a second on how that is possible, which then may become something they can look forward to achieve. And let's be honest here, there will be people complaining anyway, be it having nothing to do or having something lock behind an artificial gate. It's simply statically impossible to please everyone. Also, these seals isn't exactly a big or tough grind either, just take some time to work on it. Though I do agree with OP that having a secondary option to get around it is a good idea. It's always nice to have more choice after all, especially with some players having loading issues when hunts become overcrowded.

    i can agree to disagree on that.

    for one thing, yes, as a new player i would be impressed to see a veteran player move much faster than i can. however, on the other hand, it just sounds like some people just defend this new system for the sake of standing out and present what they have achieved. in other words, its a selfish way to flatter themselves and what they have achieved. either way, it is a terrible source of motivation in the eyes of someone that just does not care about cosmetics or appearances until they are really into the game.

    furthermore, as a new player, if i find out exactly what i had to do in order to achieve a simple mount speed buff, i would probably quit instantly; from what i remember, players do not get allied seals until around 50 or so.

    But catching up is inevitable for a new player in a MMORPG. If riding a chocobo and unlocking flying are both locked behind progression, how is this any different? At this point it almost sounds like you just want to benefit the new features without working for it. I support more choices to obtain the new speed, I also support the re-adjustment to the cost for ARR manual as there are far more areas to unlock, but I don't think SE is wrong just because they decided we should put in some work to benefit from said feature. And also, with regards to your previous comment, no. I'm not one for exclusive or be a special snowflake.

    new players have a choice to quit if they feel like a game is taking too much, or will take too much of their time. that is where the difference is, so progression is not 100% inevitable. remember that sprinting was nerfed, so getting a mount at level 20 is far more lengthy than it was when we played for the first time.

    ill say again that i do not mind the new system. at least not entirely, for the devs could have chosen a different currency to unlock the feature and make it less time consuming.

    i'm sorry that you take my previous comment personally, but the message was not exclusively for your observation. just because veterans achieved what new players cannot do yet, does not mean veterans should keep their over-glorified pride and not speak up for new players every once in a while. some will do nothing but encourage new players to "be me" and deal with it, which is just tough motivation.
