Request: Remove Anima and Use Gil/Cooldown Timer?

[Asiaine]

That's just the thing though. You have time enough to run everywhere. If you have a busy schedule and you have somethings you need to get done in a certain amount of time then you're gonna need to teleport more than someone who can play all day everyday.

If you are in a situation where you NEED to spend more than 6 anima per day, every day, then you may be attemping to do things in a way that it was not intended.

If the world was adjusted for the most-Anima-Needy person, i.e:

I can only be on 1 hour a day, and I need to always teleport to 5 different places, therefore I need 30 anima per day.

Imagine how this would affect the entire community. We would no longer have to worry about anima convservation as we would get so much of it, we would have to struggle to spend it all.

If you are really so restricted that the only way you can play the game is with a much higher allotement of anima, then you may want to re-think your approach.

Perhaps play different, or optmize your favourites, or group with other people who do similiar tasks at the same time so you can share anima.

(In case you do not know, if you are with 3 like minded individuals, together you will get 24 anima per day, yet still only one person has to pay to teleport the party. That would be 4 expensive trips per day (12 if you optimize for favourites)).

Interesting maths:
If you spent 7.5 minutes at each location.
Are only on for 2 hours a day.
That is a total of 16 teleports.

If each teleport costs 3 anima (due to favourites), they would need 48 anima per day.
A party of 8 would generate 48 anima per day.

Therefore, a static group of 8 people could do little else but teleport for 2 hours and still not run out of anima.

More fun: If you only play every 3 days, you could teleport every 2.5 minutes for 2 hours and still not run out of anima.

More more fun: If you are by yourself and play 2 hours a week:
You get 42 anima per week
You can teleport 7 times per hour to unfavoured locations, and still not run out of anima.


So there may be a solution out there, but I am unsure if the simplest solution 'oodles of anima' will be the best from a game balance point of view.
