Seriously, we need to scrutinize this heavily to the devs listening to their community, and hear me out on why. We know that multi-boxing is confirmed to be allowed. A family will consist of 8 available slots. If we continue down the same path with fast travel it just encourages players to make multiple accounts and add alts to their main family to use as teleportation toons. You could station 4 or 5 separate characters and just rotate teleportation between them. Not only is this immersion breaking, and undermines a large appeal of travel...But it opens up potential for pay to win antics to monopolize characters. One account is $14.99, This is not enough to discourage people from making multiple accounts. I am not saying make the game more expensive but change the structure of fast travel.

This is almost the same issue as archeage had with the archepass.

Great discussion. As I’ve said before the intent is to provide friends who may be more casual in their daily playtimes, a means to catch up to the location of their group.

I will not allow a system in place that circumvents the resource or region mechanics. Nor will an implementation be allowed that could abuse my “anti-Zerg” desires. The testing for this feature will be present in A2 and I will always err on the side of caution when examining the data we collect around this mechanic. Keep up the discussion 👍🙏
