Teleport price limit?

[Sida]

The porter prices are also more expensive in the expansion areas, so you don't get as much value out of it.

I've compiled myself a map of porter routes and prices vs teleport costs (what can I say, I like maps) and came to conclusion that, save from very few trips, teleport on expansion areas is not only quicker, but cheaper. I think this is bad design for the porter route part since I'd really like to use then as the scenic route cheap option but them being also more expensive... Makes them feel pointless.

As for the 999g cost, there's many ways to cut it down. There are the teleport cost reduction buffs available from both FC and squadrons, and especially with limited playtime the squadron buffs limited time shouldn't pose unyielding problem. Having apartment positioned to the other end of the world can give considerable saving though needing 2 hops. And last but not least, friend list teleportation. If anyone on your friend list had any sort of housing and they have enabled it, you can teleport to their housing district through friend list for low cost. This again requires 2 hops. With strategic use of these you rarely need to pay the full cost.
