    Can get there faster with a teleport and just afk. Also Porters have limited travel locations. Most of them just ride you in a direction for 3-5mins.

    When I was doing the Relic quest I would use the chocobo porter to the mill which can't be ported to. Plus gave me time to make my sandwich! Dem airship sandwiches I miss them. lol

    sometimes the scenic route is the best route.

    ^ This all the way. If I find myself in Uldah, but need to go Vesper Bay, I'll hire a porter that takes me there for about 30 gil, on a 2 minute trip. Where as if I used the teleport system I would have to port to Horizon, spend more money, AND still travel with my own mount to the location I want.

    With porters I can spend less money and get myself a snack, take a bathroom break, or play on my iphone. It's good to take a break from the game every once in a while, and the porter reminds me of this everytime I use one.
