OMG please remove some of the aetherytes, the world feels tiny

[sydh]

I just want larger zones. Ones even bigger than 1.0 preferably.

I can't disagree with you

passing others while traveling does not create immersion, nor does it foster any form of a community.

It's a small part of a larger thing.

Community in MMOs normally fosters around hardships, tasks that prove to be painfull for a single player to preform (Leveling, dungeons, hunting, gathering, traversing dangerous areas) What this game has done is it's streamlined every game mechanics to allow a guy to walk into it by himself without needing to know anyone.

Travel the world? - Teleport instead
Danger? - What danger?
Dungeons - Let me just que up for that.

Any aspect of the game asides the one that actually do take a well formed team to complete (The most final content you can reach) has been streamlined to death and the need of a community is therefore crushed. Even the endgame content turns out to be a negative impact on community building with weekly lockouts and caps on how much you can accomplish in a week. Nobody wants to be in a community where it has to be divided into 8 man groups.

If you guys wanna see the world level Fishing, Botany, and Mining... Complete all of the logs and then come back and talk about how small it is.

...What is your opinion on the removal of some aetherytes in order to make us explore, and get more use out of our mounts? Thanks in advance

I object the caption ^^;
I think above reason is not valid, you need to explore and check the aetherytes to activate it, and in most cases you will ride on the mounts after teleport. I recall previously players only complained teleport too expansive, maybe now the cost is too low bcoz everyone is richer than before ^^;

Lower la noscea Morbory Docks is the worst place ever. The map is so big and the crystal isn't in the middle it at the southern if the map. I hate that place so much.

I can't recall the last time I entered the next zone on foot/mount instead of teleporting...

[Seif]

Given how past few patches has made us all swim in gil the teleport cost should SERIOUSLY be hiked up.

It's kinda sad not to see anyone ride around on a mount because there's just no reason not to teleport anymore. Even the chocobo porter system is seriously flawed in the way you can't ride between places. Fallground float-camp dragonhead connection for example is completely broken now.

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I was wondering if opinion has changed.

I was looking through a list of upcoming changes, (both confirmed and just things that Yoshi stated he would like to do) and came across flying mounts. What purpose would this serve if normal mounts already feel purely cosmetic and pointless as a means of travel? The world feels so small and uninteresting because I can teleport anywhere I want within seconds.

Just don't use the ones you don't want if you prefer inconvenience, don't ask players rather not waste time to suffer

[SolArisa]

Never gonna happen unless SE, for some reason, decides it's a good idea to completely rebuild the entire game world from the ground up (again) to incorporate flying mounts.

WoW has it, so Yoshida wants it.
