ok. so im sick of shouting for hours, or more. on waiting for Tele's i honestly think there's no longer any whm's with in lower jeuno, or WG for that matter on Fairy, that even bother to Tele-<area> Easy fast gil.

did SCH really make WHM That Extinct lol..

anyway~ wondering how bad the "Tele-port service" is on other servers,

on Fairy, ive seen ppl shouting for a few hours, offering anywhere from 2 ~ 5 to even 10k at times, for a Tele. yet still no one ports them,

*Well i normaly do for free, 90% of the time i'm in jeuno bored outa my mind*

Shouts are few and far inbetween. It's not worth it for me to change jobs to teleport someone for less than 5k. Most people still try to shout for 1k teleports. If there were 20-30 1k shouts an hour sure, but its really not the case anymore.

I'll tele people if I'm not in a hurry. I'm usually on WHM anyway. I'll even have people send me a /tell if I've tele'd them before asking if I have time to.

Along the same lines as the not wanting to change jobs to teleport someone for just 1k, I'd rather not have to change my subjob to teleport someone.

Back in the day, BLM was the standard subjob for WHM so it was a no-brainer to tele someone right then and there. You already had your free warp back.

Nowadays, most WHMs sub SCH. Even if you're already on WHM, you'd have to swap to /BLM or else you'd have to pay gil (OP) or book points to get back to your HP.

Bottom line is, people are lazy and don't want to do any extra work for gil they weren't planning on earning anyways, even if they have nothing better to do.

If someone's gonna shout for 30+ minutes, can't they get there faster if they just walked?

Also, it's just silly to wait more than 15 minutes (even that's a long time) for a teleport. Guaranteed, there is an OP close enough to where you want to go that will cost you less time to get to your final destination than to shout for a tele for hours on end. OPing may even be cheaper.
