New Teleporter Idea

I personally find it irritating that not only do you have to pay every time you use a teleporter, (no, im not broke, just cheap.) but you can't even go everywhere with any teleporter. But it would be kinda stupid as well if you could just go anywhere right when you start out. So I came up with an idea that in my opinion would make it easier to get places that you want to go, while not making it TOO simple, and i'd like to see if anyone else agrees. So here it is...

Step 1. When you find a teleporter, you can't just talk to her to activate the waypoint. she will give you the option to either do a certain quest to activate the waypoint, or you can pay coins, or buy an item from the boutique or something like that. (therefore making you pay only once to use the teleporter, and not every time you use it)

Step 2. Now that you have an activated waypoint, you obviously have to have another one activated before you can teleport anywhere. So just repeat step 1 in activating the second waypoint.

Simple, right? Well, if i left it at that, it would be way too easy still to get every waypoint in the game relatively quickly. So instead of being abe to teleport to every previous waypoint you added, you would have to activate the waypoint, and decide which teleporter you wanted to link it with. and of course you would be able to link multiple ones together.

As an example: Let's say you already have two teleporters activated and linked together, A and B. When you want to add teleporter C to the mix, you activate waypoint C and choose if you want to link it with A or B. You choose B. Since B is already linked with another waypoint, the quest you need to do will be a little harder, or if you choose to pay coins, you will have to pay a little more, or if you choose to use the boutique item, you would have to use 2, or a tier 2 or something like that.

In other words, you can link as many waypoints to any teleporter as you want, it just gets harder/more expensive the more you link to them. Such as Archosaur. I would assume that most people would link Archosaur to as many waypoints as they can, but the more they link to it, the harder/more expensive it gets.

This also let's you choose which teleporters you want linked together, and eliminates the preset links that are in place now

Either way, its just an idea that im throwing out there, and i'd like to see others reaction to it. Please let me know if theres anything that i left out that would improve on it, or anything that i added that is not necissary

    its simply Pay to be lazy, or take the cheap/long route and fly/use land mount to your destination.

    the system is fine the way it is on teleporting imo

    RedsRose, we need to start a teleporters annonimous support group...

    i think that its a really good idea.

    i mean, yea, theres teleport stones and stuff you can get from the boutique, but if youre not too keen on the idea of spending real money to buy zen to get gold, then youre stuck with buying gold from the AH. and for those of us who are not as well off as others in the coin-age area... (yes, believe it or not, we DO exist...), thats not so much of an option-especially with gold being close to 400k a pop. same goes with the purchasing of mounts/aerogear. b:shedtear

    besides, even though everyone can fly with the regular mounts/wings you get according to class, who has the time to fly all the way from Tusk Town to Etherblade? yknow? thats a long flight!! b:tired

    not only that, but how much do you hate having to go from (for example) Orchid Temple to Archosaur just to be able to get to City of Lost?? its so out of the way and all it does is cost more! b:irritated

    so ANYWAY..... yea. i think its a good idea. a one-time charge or quest activated teleport would be SO much more convienent...and less costly. (because it DOES add up...) b:victory

    Mostly i came up with this idea because i hate how you cant go from one teleporter to another usually. they arent all connected. so you have to go through 2 or 3 teleporters to get to where you want. and so this idea wouldnt be for someone like you, Bowlinbob, because you dont use them anyway. its more for the people who would rather save time by using teleporters, than spend most of their time flying or riding to get places. so if anyone is going to vote im the poll from now on, i would really appreciate it if its someone who actually uses teleporters. and i mean no disrespect to Bowlinbob, just so you know
