DEV 1081 How Achievements Work NPCs do we really need all the running around?

[Pyretta_Blaze]

I hit all of them in one evening to unlock them and it wasn't a big deal. I wouldn't want to do it every day, but with a chocobo and airships the travel time is not really all that out of line. It might be nice if someday we can get more travel options like hopping on a chocobo carriage and have our character taken there instead of running or something.

I keep hoping that they will be adding more reasons to go to those places and that there will be a reason to spend an evening there with a party or something. If there were only planned content for the hamlets...

All that said, I like having a reason to leave town... It makes sense that NPC's in far away zones want things... I don't play FFXIV to stand in town and have everyone and everything within 10 yalms of my character at all times. Or for one zone line to be 5 different things... I'm looking at you GC/MW

There will be hundreds of players who won't utilize the Achivements system because of the hassle.

If the achievements are not worth a little travel to a player, then they don't deserve reap any rewards from them...
