I nominate we remove all sorts of warp from the game (exept BLM spell obv) like the old days, that will solve the problem

Yes
We need more BLM!

Alright, you got it.

Done!

Wait, nothing changed. We don't have any warp/teleports available on Nasomi that weren't available in this time period (CoP/ToAU) on retail FFXI ("the old days"). Even Warp scrolls were available in 2005. Totally agree with raising their price to 750 CP like they should be though.

(the only out of era tele is from the Tidal Talisman)

Levelling BLM for endgame on this server is the most soul destroying thing I have ever decided to do. If you ever feel like you play this game too much, just try to level BLM (without your friends carrying you with a PL or two and no inside party heals) it'll make you want to quit. The endless seeking and then the sub-par damage you do when you actually get into a party because magic accuracy blows... so fun.

I’ve been leveling it with more or less BiS gear, and eating HQ parfaits... and it’s still boring as shit and tedious. Meh.

Why? What purpose would this serve? Are there too many conquest points in circulation now?

(basically, it'd improve BLMs value to a party, at least a little bit - enough to maybe fill out endgame with some more BLMs, which endgame shells are always asking for)

We're always losing some sort of modern FFXI change. Each time it's rough but it does take us closer to a situation which matches what the game really played like. I know it's not a popular idea, and you aren't gonna see me beg nas to make that change, but if he did it out of the blue, it should make sense to us as to why.

How does that "improve BLMs value to a party"? No one is going to invite a BLM to a party because a warp cost 750 CP... yes let's invite something that is next to useless (apart from my BLM please invite me... I am strong) just because it can warp us 6 hours from now. I'm sorry but not only is that not a popular idea, it's not a good one.

Things Nas could do that would make a real difference and improve BLMs value to a party and fill endgame with some more BLMS; revert pet EXP nerf, sort out magic accuracy, give us ToAU camps, or all previously stated. These might not be well received suggestions but they are what's needed.

All of those things, and yes, a warp scroll price change, would have an impact, of course. If you think warp scroll prices don't impact whether or not you'd invite a BLM (by extension of people being unhappy with the price change), then there wouldn't be an argument about it starting now.

No one's gonna argue against proper pet exp, ToAU camps etc. Those -are- well received suggestions, by anyone and everyone.

You could literally death warp after the party and still come out ahead if you're worried about your CP. That change won't make people invite blms.
