"Jog" is the worst addition to the game - rant

[USAFJerrySo]

Serious question, how much do you weigh in real life? When was the last time you ran/jog anywhere?

[Cahlum]

This is the dumbest post i've ever read on this forum. And that's an achievement

[Eastwall]

What? Is this supposed to be a bait?

[Akamadoshi]

I guess you all who complain never ran POTD having only 2 minutes on the timer at floor 200 needing to run towards the exit to hit the pumpkin - and sprint cannot make it as far as the pumpkin.
I guess you all never played ninja in deep dungeon either where hide+jog=OP

Skill issue. Git gud. /s

Nobody cares dude. Your first post in the topic was to tell people to shut up. No one taking you seriously.

And just to be clear, I think the complaints about Jog are silly. But this shit takes the cake.

What shit takes the cake? I just remembered the POTD issue maybe making something useful out of the jog.
I still abide to what I said.

Edit: I was so confused what you were talking about... but I see what you mean... I have no recollection writing that on the post forum!!!!! That does not excuse it. You are right. Sorry for that rudeness. I am kind of weirded out. I normally do not write such rude comment on forum!

So, this will be a rant about the new passive effect called "Jog" introduced in 7.2.

Jog genuinely makes me want to stop playing. I know very well that that sounds strange and stupid, fully aware, but i just HATE the sped up running-animation, and to have that "forced" upon me actively makes the game worse. When playing a physical ranged damage dealer I already hated having to press Peloton after every pack in a dungeon, and now having to to that on every single job in the game..? No thanks.

Now i have to choose between always having my character run like a cartoon character, or be punished for not doing that... I remember when they added special animations for Sprinting with your weapon equipped and I was SO hyped about it. Now, I want to remove Sprint from my bars entirely - though I can already hear people in dungeons yelling at me for not using Jog. Ugh...

Ninja is my favourite job in the game, but I always hated how their slightly increased movement speed made my character run. But I still loved the job so I ignored it. Now ALL jobs have an EVEN WORSE sped up animation..! Why..!?

Now, I understand that most people probably love the introduction of Jog, but personally I've never had an issue with the normal running speed for the past 11 years of playing, and I've no idea why they felt the need to change that. We've got Sprint, Teleport, Aetherytes, increased Sprint duration in cities, Peloton, and this patch even gave us mounting up while running. WHY on earth do we need Jog too?

Please, at least give me an option to toggle it off permanently...

Again, I know it's a stupid thing to be mad about, but I genuinely feel like it makes my gameplay experience worse, as weird as that may sound.

Okay, rant over...

What do you think? Do you love Jog, do you HATE it like I do? Or do you not care at all?

Thanks for reading

Wow, this may be the most petty pointless reason to say you're quitting

[Hallarem]

I wish the game didn't have aetherytes in larger cities and you could use your mounts.

[BunnyBrat]

So when you're in a party do you get mad when your phys ranged dps uses peloton? lol I just don't get the issue. You get from point a to point b much faster. I don't understand how that would be a negative.

Bot like WoW with flight paths. We're so spoiled in FF14 been able to teleport everywhere. I like jog, gets me from A to B bit it is abit overkill. xD
