[Challenge] Has anyone tried not using teleport?!

[Ayuhra]

All that would do is make it take twice as long to get anything done. This isn't a game that rewards exploration like, say, Elder Scrolls Online.

On the contrary, I find exploring the great views of the areas (and they look beautiful to me) reward in and of itself.

I can do most thing from my home in the goblet so a few days without teleporting is kinda norm for me...

I did so back when I was leveling b/c I considered the Aetherytes too expensive.

It can be done (I am basically used to it from WoW) but as Mesa already stated: The only thing you accomplish is waste tons of time, not just riding but also having multiple loadingscreens between you and your destination instead of only one.

Doing this would be more fun if the World was like WoWs, where you can traverse an entire continent w/o bumping into loading screens.

Well, never had a single issue with loading screens but maybe it's because I'm using a SSD.

When I first started, the friend I was playing with and I ran everywhere as opposed to teleporting. I do the same thing sometimes for MSQ. For ShB, I ran more than I actively teleported to enjoy the zones more. On my story alts, I tend to run as well.

All the time back in 1.0

Good riddance to the Anima system! \o/

This challenge would make the MSQ filler ten thousand times more infuriating. Imagine having to go on a Lord of the Rings scale trek just to make Tataru some tea.

i actually doing this back when the game still in HW, at that time iam at the highest point of enjoying FF14 so i enjoy the view, at one time i even try walking from gridania to foundation (even following the "travel" path lol)

now not anymore obviously

They are there. That is enough of a disruption. Doesn't matter whether they are 10s or 2 s (I use an SSD myself).
When you are used to a world w/o loading screens you notice and get annoyed by these things.

I myself use teleports quite often simply because it saves me more time. I have seen and will see certain places and maps more than enough so I dont even want to see more of it by constantly having to fly through it all.

But I have an ingame friend that only teleports when there is a hunt or when he goes to city with the free teleport. It seemingly is no problem for him and he just dislikes teleporting but when we do treasure maps and stuff like that we have to wait for him which in turn of course wastes our time.
