How slow travel time threatens Warzones

Travel may not be as fast as it *could* be, but it's not slow. It's just not.

I'm not just talking out of my butt here. I've timed it, and so far the longest it's ever taken me to get from point A to point B, even if those points are on different planets, is under 9 minutes. It's much shorter if I use Quick Travel during that process. Try it yourself if you don't believe me.

Now, I haven't tried timing travel in any of the other MMOs I play, but I'd lay down money right now that says that in the same type of scenario (any random point A to any other random point B across, say, different continents) that you would quite often come up with results far in excess of 10 minutes.

I'd ask you to lay off the insults, but based on the way you started applying them so liberally based on my just holding a different opinion from yours, I realize asking for a civil discussion with you is pointless, but thanks for the heaping pile of irony in your response. However, I have a hard time seeing sub-10-minute times to get from any one point to any other being "slow." It's not instant, and there may be some additional steps, but it's not unreasonable at all. I'd even bet it's faster than most, if not all, other MMOs.

It has become increasingly common knowledge (thanks mostly to ticket responses from GM's, who suggested it to me when I became thoroughly stuck) that queuing for a WZ and then waiting the timer out in the spawn room will instantly teleport you to the fleet rather than your previous location, and recently I have seen warzone queues filled with several people who plan to do nothing but sit in the spawn until the timer expires so they can travel faster. The combination of the 18 hr fleet pass and some people not having access to the security vendor have made this the path of least resistance and the negative impact on warzone queues will only increase. Please find a way to fix this problem.

Go to Dromund Kaas - load screen - ship- load screen- run through starport - elevator load screen - taxi to npc- "Oh you need me to go BACK to the fleet? - taxi, starport load screen- ship load screen -choose the fleet-exit ship load screen-fleet elevator load screen. "Oh you need me to go back to kaas city?

It's intentionally done to string us a long to make leveling longer, it isn't fun, it isn't immersive I don't know why some of you defend it.

Because some of you want to destroy mmo's...

So cutting the CD on fleet pass to 1 hour will destroy the MMO? Did Glenn Beck write this post for you?

Quality of travel? you mean running through area's to get from a to b to c to d and people are requesting to remove this to cut down travel and make it arcade in style. Hows about people cut out questing at start at lvl 50, why not? anything that people request to remove from mmo's serve no purpose than to shorten the gameplay and style of play, it's not immursion people are wanting it's fast action, arcade style. MMO's I fear are becoming no more with request like this.


And please remember, how many other mmo's have failed because of going the arcade style route.
