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

[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.

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

It seems out of place in content. It should have been restricted to cities, towns and housing wards only.

Is this the endgame of character obsession

Unlike in WoW the big issue here is that the porters we do have, unless they have changed since I last used them years ago, only take you one or two aetherytes over. If I want to ride from Ul'dah to Grid in one continuous trip I should be able to. The system here, like many many many other systems, was poorly thought out and put into the game half baked.

Love jog and if I don't want to be moving faster I wouldn't press Sprint in the first place.

Saw this thread getting some laughs over on reddit. For this one I agree.
