Based on his Q&A last night, Nas puts borderline zero value in OP warps lol.

This

As long as there is an Outpost Teleporter and Auction House I don't care where a main hub is, the sheer amount of time they save is astounding. I already played this years ago and seen all the sights so anything to avoid waiting 30-60 minutes for people to arrive at an XP party camp is gucci.

Sorry I edited my post to add the reason. It would be too crowded. The auction houses are already laggy in some of the crowded cities.

That's why I listed some examples. They're superior for transport, hands down.

This is a legit reason. It would be very laggy.

As someone who’s mostly leveled everything beyond the early zones, I’d much rather him put an OP warp in whitegate lol

I agree with Nasomi's view that the world does need some travel aspect to feel alive and reduce crowding. During these "tedious" runs through zones, we might encounter fellow adventurers that may need help. It adds the aspect of random encounters, creating situations where we interact with each other, and makes the world feel more expansive. I've made a few real life friends from simple random encounters while running through zones.

Starter nations feel like home and offer the outpost warps to get you somewhat close to where you want to go. You start at home and decide what you want to do today, prepare, then head out on your adventure.

I feel as though Jeuno and/or Whitegate are places to go when you're looking for members (or looking for a group) for a higher level mission or quest. It's not a long run from Qufim OP from your home nation to get to these areas if that's what your goal is. In retail, we also had party members/linkshell mates shout in different areas to get a wider audience if needed.

That's how I feel on the matter, anyway.

Whitegate sucks. Nasomi should make shouts in Jeuno go through all 4 zones and possibly allow teleportation to your home nation, maybe after rank 5 as an alternative to airship. Would drive people to get rank 5 too, lazy ass rank 2 sandorians

Seems like a no-brainer. I thought months ago you told me that this wasn't possible. Did something change!?

Also just a quick idea that came to me. Make warp scrolls only purchasable from jeuno guards.

Nothing should ever be taken away from people that they had in retail in this era
