Outpost Teleport Menu Ordering

The current menu for outpost teleports displays options in the below order:

  • Gil

  • Conquest Points

  • Cancel


We have received some requests that it be changed to the below order:

  • Conquest Points

  • Gil

  • Cancel


In order to determine which order the majority of players would prefer, we setup this poll.

Please select which order your prefer by voting via the poll by 1/25 (Wed.).

Please vote, the link is within the post (or just click here)! You will have to log into the site to do it I think though :( but I'm not 100% sure on that.

I personally would like to see it changed myself.

Thanks for all the votes!

The development team will be using this information to look further into this matter. As there were also other suggestions besides the two options listed on the survey they will be taking those into consideration as well.

With this said, we will be locking this thread and when any progress is made we will be sure to announce it.

Doesn't it automatically start on "Cancel"?

If so, then Left/Enter (Gil) -> Left/Enter (Yes) is way better than Up/Enter -> Left/Enter!

Can't say I've ever paid attention to where it starts by default though, I always hit Left/Enter anyway >_>;

This seems fairly senseless... But I guess anything to make it seem like they are listening to the players instead of doing something most players actually care about.

Easier said than done really, I've done it my way for so many years and it just comes so natural to hit up.

Same for me, so I voted to change it.

Yeah, I've always used Left/Right (well, since I found they can be used to skip holding Up/Down forever), so I know where you're coming from.

I'd say they should keep the order the same and just default it to "Gil", or have the NPC make an option to set your default payment method and don't bother asking you (pretty much like it was).

Yeah but they had to forward ***to the dev team, get responses back to the community reps, translate them, post a response..

...now they have to tally responses, pretend like they didn't already make a decision, make another response to look like they listened..

When they could have ... I don't know ... been dealing with stuff people actually care about.

About as much time as it takes to add a "move to pool" option.

Instead of move to pool, we're getting "Destroy contents of chest."

*community reps busy on the computer reading responses and noticed people are wanting the options flipped around*

*writes up email*

*dev team secretary person w/e reads it and wakes up one of the dev team taking their 3rd evening nap and tells her to just make a poll and we'll tell them that after gathering the votes of all 4 forums that the consensus was to keep it the same*

* secretary sends email back telling camate it's an okay to make one*

*camate rolling his eyes makes the poll wondering why he does this job sometimes*

*players complain the dev team isn't listening to them and are focusing on wrong content*

It's not like it is taking a long time to add a move to pool option... because they don't want to do it.

It doesn't matter what you vote for unless your flag has a red dot on it. That forum has shown this to be true in the past.

I really want this to be changed. For so long I've used the up botton to teleport, and now I'm wasting CP since it's like second nature to hit up. Change change change!

The title of the thread made it sound like we were getting a fast food chain in FFXI.

How disappointing.

What about the people who are ok with already hitting up to use CP why change it and make them change the way they operate the menu? -.- it's a losing situation each way around.

User defined settings.
I'm guessing it's too complicated or something.

If I make a mistake and choose one over the other oh well its not like CP or gil is hard to come by anymore. If you are really worried about hitting the wrong one look at what you hit enter over.

If they really cared, it would remember what you used last time and have that as the default.

This fix will probably take the dev team like 20 secs tops to implement. I think the real question is: doesn't the community relations team have better things to do?

Sounds like a 20 second job. But for SE it's more like a 2-3 day project.
