Suggestion: Let Us Infinite-Sprint In Main Cities

[Akisohida]

Even teleporting; walking around is time-consuming.
Why don't we just auto (and infinite) sprint inside the main cities? or any city on a separate map from any combat zone?

There's no reason not to have this as a QoL improvement. What does plodding along in a city-zone (which does not have any combat at all) do?

Honestly just teleport me directly to whatever I'm supposed to do. Who cares about enjoy the world of an RPG. Actually just let us log directly into the boss rooms and kill them before we get there. Just give us the loot, there's no reason not to have this as a QoL improvement. What does combat do?

Strawman much?

An exceedingly dumb one at that.

But hey, you're certainly free to RP walk everywhere in game if you like.

That's exactly how I feel about the original request.

Opinions are cool.

What does any of that have to do with being able to sprint from place to place IN TOWNS, where there's 0 combat and 0 to do between the crafting row, merchants, boards, and turn-in areas like the Serpent desks for my Supply & Provisionings.
In New Gridania, to buy items to Supply, I have to run from the desk to the aetheryte, teleport to the merchant's row, buy the items, teleport back to the main aetheryte, and sprint back to the Serpent desk.

How would giving me infinite sprint for, again CITY ZONES WITH NO COMBAT, take away from anything?

Or were you just looking to be disagreeable? Because your strawman is horrible.

Just displaying how ridiculous I think your request is with something that you'd find just as ridiculous. You can already teleport basically anywhere you need to, and they've added a FC buff that basically gives you this anyway.

[Avidria]

Now sure why this is that terribly outlandish or ridiculous of a request when, like you said, you already can basically get this anyway. I mean ranged physical dps classes have what's basically a permanent sprint out of combat already. The only reason I'm in favor of not just letting us mount in cities is because it'd make talking to NPCs more annoying than it already is with SEs wonky NPC load priorities (and yes I liberally use the keybind to target/interact with the nearest non player). Just implement it as a toggle or something /shrug

Except my suggestion is in no way the same as skipping content or combat, or skipping to bosses. It's letting people run faster in large cities because teleporting only gets you so far.
If you don't like the idea; say that. Your comparison falls flat, however, and just looks like a bad strawman.

I figured we did not have mounts in cities to avoid visual clutter. Which was why I suggested just having infinite sprint-speeds.
Heck; make it a toggle, so people who want to plod everywhere can do that, but people like me don't have to waddle to the nearest crystal, teleport to the nearest crystal to where we want to go, and waddle from there to our destination.

Just swap to ranged DPS using Peloton with Strider boots. If you've unlocked every aethernet in a city, that problem is more or less solved. :P
