    Thank you for explaining.

    I definitely agree that banding together to accomplish something can be the spark that leads to friendships. Moving together and fighting through a challenge can be a big part of that. The first few nights of Castrum Novum were remarkable in that regard.

    But what I don't want to see is SE making transportation for grind-ish or repetitive activities take up a sizable chunk of our play time by removing or severely restricting the teleportation system.

    I don't think transportation changes would go very far in making people more friendly or helpful, and less segregated. Having mutual goals requiring cooperation would be much more effective, regardless of how we get there.

    Play the game your way. If ppl wanna tele everywhere let them do it if you wanna walk everywhere you do it.

    Truly, forcing people to walk is a stupid idea. Instead, give them a damn reason to go out walking.

    Have some content in areas that can't be teleported to. Put content on the trains, boats, and airships (something better than just random enemy spawns, though). Put out quests that come up at random, have other quests drag you through the middle of nowhere, and then have some more quests start out there in the middle of nowhere. The caravans are really good for this, as are gathering points.

    And then when they're done with all that, let them teleport the hell out of there so they can go join a raid on the new primals. >_>]
    You said it best.

    I allready made my stance on the "Don't like it don't use it" argument. Wether I use it or not doesn't mean it doesn't effect me and my gameplay experience.

    So what is your great next idea ? 2.0 Logging in and You!" lets add up some random quests at the logging in screen, where you have to go and read 10 topics in the main forums and fill up some random poll so that people can earn the "Right" to log in into the game......

    Damm casuals and their handed down log in powers <.<

    Thanks for the pro-tip but I'll just keep telling the developers what I think would be best for the games development. You know the reason why they made the forums.

    Also to be blunt (You obviously didn't read anything at all) this thread is not really about not wanting Anima it's about having a sense of accomplishment and belonging in the game world. Wouldn't it be rad if instead of a zone just being there we knew all about what was going on while we aquired our teleportation nodes?

    what is best or what you want? I do think all of us have the right to post ideas and feedback but what one person wants isn't always whats best for the game. Though I don't think this subject (your idea not all the have to run everywhere folks ideas) qualifies since it is a good idea and would add to the game as a whole.

    I'm not sure about other people when they suggest stuff but I try to look at it as a whole as what would make my gameplay experience not only more fun but also more engaging and longer lasting.

    I may be a rare breed but I never understood the "Give it to me now" mentality of many people IMHO it's a short sighted road to a game with no substance. Heck look at how many people were throwing fits over the relic weapons over RNG and now that most people are passed that RNG hump and have discovered that it's also now not as much RNG as they were going on about but now a grueling challenge. They all went silent or they started to complain about the other end of the sepctrum.

    While I respect the people who argued about RNG and upon discovering the RNG was the least of their worries they clammed up and started to buckle down for the work ahead of them, I have no respect for the people who jumped onto the other side of the ship and started to complain about the hard work part of relic items.

    I guess that what I "Enjoy" about the game is what I think best that's obvious. But I do try to keep myself in perspective and not just shove all of my ideas down peoples mouths. Hell if it was my decision Anima ports would be seriously crippled to a 1-2 times a day thing with other methods available at cost of other supplies/items in the game.

    I would rather FORCE people to walk around than teleport so I have a more lively world to play in. But I'm not going to suggest FORCEing people into playing the way I want them. I want the game to be a place where instead of being forced you would be stupid not to walk around when you had the chance.

    I want the world to feel more remote, getting to someplace to be worth while. hate just telephoning wherever i need to go when ever i need to. It just makes travel pointless, may aswell have everything in a small instanced square box if i can just pop myself there anytime i want!

    Problem with this is just HOW easy it is, SE has this idea that casuals need hand holding all the way that that they don't have 4 min t walk somewhere. With 99 anima a popper casual can never run out. My friend plays casually, and he has never walked anywhere but to one atherite gate.
