[To the devs] Coerthas needs more Aetherytes!

Coerthas Highlands is such. HUGE map and only has 1 Aetheryte, while a very tiny map like Northern Thanalan has 2 Aetherytes. Please add Aetherytes to Observatorium and Whitebrim.

I want less aetherytes overall.

Yeah, we need LESS aetherytes. There are enough in the world as it is. It doesn't even feel like an open world because I can teleport everywhere.

I agree. The main way to get around in FFXI was to rent a chocobo, or call your own. The lack of travel in XIV is a bit depressing. Any time I need to go anywhere, all I have to do is drop 300 gil and *poof* I'm there.

What happened to WHM teleports, or BLM warps?

Personally I feel that Coerthas needs to be bigger, hopefully western Coerthas zone will be opened up for Shiva and other content.

It will be. I imagine we'll get the Eastern sections first though; Eastern Highlands is clearly visible and appears to be occupied by Ixal now with the entrance being just north of Natalan, and Eastern Lowlands should just be through Griffins Crossing. Not sure if we'll ever see Central Lowlands again though, given that we now seem to go straight from Central Highlands to Mor Dhona/Shroud...

Have you been taking Realmreborn / Roiken lessons?

Just in case of a 'no', You don't need [To the Devs] in your subject line for your posts to be read. It doesn't increase the chances of the community team reading it and in fact according to them increases the chances they will ignore it. The best way to get their attention is to post normally on subjects of actual interest to the playerbase (often reflected by post likes).

As far as the acutal complaint goes, NO. the world already feels too small, the last thing it needs is a higher concentration of telepoints.

Bring back the anima system, it forced you to actually plan out what you were going to do and gave you a reason to actually travel around because you couldn't spam teleport. Most people I knew never dropped below 80-90 anima anyways. There was airships, we had chocobo's, there were ferry's, nothing wrong with a little leg work. Teleporting was more of a quick way of getting around in a party rather than for personal travel.

Oh and the lore reason for the gil cost is kinda silly.....Needed gil to repair the aetheryte nodes...I think they accomplished that already.

Casuals happened :(

IMO, the only places that should have the Aetherites are the 3 main cities and Coerthas. From there you can bloody well walk, rent a choco or call your own.
