I’ve nothing against people using the WP system, but to argue for the exclusion of something simply because that person wouldn’t use it, is just plain invalid.
It’s about resource allocation. Spending time on a mechanic that wouldn’t be used is a waste of resources that could be used to strengthen a more important aspect of the game, or generate new content. The fallacy in your argument, Tarkaroshe, is why not include everything you possibly can as long as it won’t directly hurt the game experince. It should be obvious a game/company can’t do this for several reasons such as the stress on the game, expense, and the time to create and install all said items.
That being said I wouldn’t mind mounts as a cheaper alternative to waypoints. Waypoints can get pretty expensive and not sure why the cost of way points aren’t static to the location rather then increasing with a characters level.
I tried that it didn’t work
This is more of a complaint then a suggestion. I don’t know who the genius/es were that decided to suppress map messages, but they are completely out of touch with game socialization of MMO’s. I understand that this is an attempt to reduce gold farming ( which I am all for), but how are player’s expected to look for pick up teams if after a couple attempts they can no longer able to announce that they are looking? Who could of possibly thought this was a good idea?
