    Request: Remove Anima and Use Gil/Cooldown Timer?

    I ask this because it really hurts a lot of people ^^; myself included. I play 3-4 times a week now because of work and during that time I have to port all the time just to get what I need done. Than I have to take a break for a week or two to get all my anima back >.>

    In Aion/GuildWars/FFXI there were other mitigating factors. Aion used Gold. GuildWars just let you port to places but you had to run through an entire instance to get to the bosses. FFXI cost MP for the main tele's but you had so many more options for getting around that were instant. Warp scrolls, warp NPC's warp this that and the other thing.

    So I'm requesting that the DEVs/Yoshi can look at removing anima altogether and either make it cost gil using npc's at designated towns or use a 15-30 minute cooldown timer to prevent abuse.

    I can hear you say that the body can't handle teleporting so much; at least I believe that was what was posted; however we are playing a role play game with the name final fantasy. Key is fantasy ^^ It's my fantasy to have a greater ability to get things done in the game without a throwback to the Tanaka days of being restricted in movement.

    I have many casual friends who this affects the most. For leve quests especially as they use those to level. Teleporting back and forth after saving up leve allowances during the week while playing less means they have alot to do, but little anima to do it.

    I appreciate your time~!

    Thanks.

    Chocobo? Goobbue?

    I use anima when I want to go from Gridania to Broken Water quickly. If I'm in the same zone, I'll chocobo there unless there's any hurry. Other than that, strategic placement of my homepoint. In Aion, teleports were between pretty far-off places. Once you teleported, you still had to foot it. Here we have a faster way of "walking" plus flexible teleportation from anywhere.

    so just 3-4 times a week already cost you all anima? seem very big spender to me, you probably run out of gil too if it was the requirement to warp.

    but yes, I can't deny, many games have all the warp portal everywhere, and it is good to make thing convenient.

    Okay, but let's not scrap anima. You want to be teleported somewhere and without anima by paying for gil? Sure, but only from each major city and make the cost based on an algorithm that calculates how many total users have recently used any form of teleport.

    Because you are lazy and choose to warp everywhere doesn't mean that something has to change on SE's side. The problem is you.

    Keep anima but remove the ability to teleport anywhere. I'd rather just be able to use the main crystal in each city to travel to each camp much like we already can with the aetheryte gates. I think the recharge rate of anima is decent enough though I wouldn't mind a gil-sink recharge option for those who tend to overuse it, or really need it when they have very little left. One idea could be the ability to change dark matter into a certain amount of anima based on tier much like the materia conversion process.

    I can guess what is the next thread if this was realized.

    Dear SE, please lower the gil requirement on teleports, i play 3-4times a week now because of work, my gil is running out very fast because i prefer to just teleport anywhere, now i can't enjoy the games because i have to keep making gil somehow everytime i play.

    Or can you make our gil regen??

    i used to think that they needed to drop anima but realised they dont.
    1.chocobo, goobber
    2.airships.
    3.ferry

    what they need to do is when you approch any AETHERYTE CRYSTALS, AETHERIAL GATES, AETHERIAL NODES in any city/state you should be able to use 1 or 2 anime to vist any other AETHERYTE CRYSTALS, AETHERIAL GATES, AETHERIAL NODES you have previously vistited in that city/state.

    I don't get why people are so against running places. I hardly ever use Anima, except for going to Coerthas, only because of how dumb out of the way that zone is.
