Airships: Cost vs. Frequency vs. Usage

[Jinko]

I think the system is fine as it is, though I hope they implement the other various airship landings with 2.0 or sooner. I would gladly pay 2000g for a quick flight to some of the more remote areas in order to conserve anima.

This would be nice, in all honestly they could completely abolish teleportation in 2.0 if they had enough flight paths.

Umbral age could destroy all the aetheryte or something for example.

@ Aryden, I welcome ideas that involve more then being handed a free pass to the airships, or any other mode of travel for that matter. IMO earning everything is much better then being handed everything.

[AlaulaTheGreat]

I would agree, as long as it does not use frequent destination of overall travelers into the equation.

I'm sure alot of us remember the fiasco that was associated with Tele-Mea.

Nuts to paying 45k cause alot of people go to Uldah. But all things considered, I also hate the... 2-5 minute wait... sorta?
Never was too bad in my opinion.

I use it regularly and think the cost and wait time is fine. It's like less than 5 mins, a lot better than XI was. Get up and go take a leak or something, jeez.

Make them shorter!? I'm still waiting for them to have airships I can walk around on and mobs pop on deck to fight and I can see the world below the clouds, or perhaps a minigame where I can use a turret to shoot down Garlean scoutships for bonus xp, or Air Fishing to catch rare birds or sky creatures. If you want instant, thats why we have teleports, if anything Airships need more substance and time spent with them, not stripped down to an intant tele. But I admit at this current time they might as well be instant since there's nothing interesting going on :P

And to take us via controllable airship to sky tower or whatever name you want to give! Just gimme that pls, with sugar on top

[Peptaru]

I want Chupon to come and sneeze at us and disembark us wherever we may land!!!

[viion]

I use it often, but by the time I've spent bout 50k on it, I've made probably 10 times that within the same period. so its not costing me anyfings.
