Please Abolish Anima!

[Kazimir]

I think that when 2.0 comes out and there are several areas, that each area should only have 1 aethryte to port to. It would be kind of like outpost warping from FFXI. They certainly shouldn't get rid of anima or self-teleporting all together though, I don't feel like having to pay a WHM 50k to teleport me 2 zones away from my destination.

How i travel around world to complete my quests, is up to me you have the option of feet, chocobo, gobbue, and airships for exploration. Why do you want to restrict the way /i/ play, when you can easily change the way you play and be happy? ^-^

I don't disagree with you but it's a flawed argument for an MMO. As party play is a big part of any MMO, people expect others to get to a destination the quickest way. Therefore someone who does not like to teleport because it takes away the traveling aspect is restricted to using a teleporting method, because no one wants to wait for a guy to jump on an airship and chocobo out when he can teleport right to where a dungeon / quest objective is located.

I completely understand that. But there's always a majority, and there's always a minority. I hate to draw in comparison to FFXI, but shoes that would grant you just minimal enhancement in speed would cost millions upon millions and were some of the most commonly desired items. Travel and transportation are two completely different things.

Quite the contrary, I don't believe what I said was a flawed argument for an MMO considering the fact that in a party of 8, the 7 others aren't running on YOUR time. Which is why, you yourself also said "no one wants to wait..." taken slightly out of context but I believe the message is still there and very clear.
