Dude, I’m not the only one that can see you’re clearly upset and have been getting progressively further in the hole. You should probably start smoking.
Unfortunately these issues pretty much goes hand in hand.
Had they gotten off their “body part that everyone have but that prudes are mortified to see in a sentence” and made a glamour log then you would no longer have to think about running around with the best gear you had, which in turn would mean that you wouldn’t even think about what was in your armor/weapon dedicated inventory slots.
Though at least as it is, outside of job locked and weapons each role tends to come with one set covering all. So your crafter/gatherer role just have to deal with 2 sets rather than 12.
There alot i liked about ff the biggest one was how different the people reacted between both games . In wow it is best to be quiet and not ask question and in ff the opposite you ask question and you get polite answers . Now this was a year ago when i played it hopefully that didn’t change . The thing that drove me away was to much story in everything you could have a poop quest and have to read why it was important to this village.
Ahh… but you don’t have to. All you have to do is call out in your FC chat, or in general and ask for a ride and poof! Someone will come help you. I’ve given lifts to many people in my 4 seater mount. The only people I can give a lift to using my 5 seater mount in WoW are the 4 random people I helped get the mount back in legion and I have no clue who those people are.
And BTW, you had teleport tickets to the Waking Sands - enough to last you until you moved on from that area. At least I did. I had leftovers.
I think the teleportation system in FFXIV is much more efficient and yeah, I did need to run and get the currents in each zone to fly, but it wasn’t difficult and for the most part, I was flying in each zone before I was done with the story in those zones. After having to deal with pathfinder, it was a dream.
