Suggestion: Aetheryte Shard at the Ruby Road Exchange

A change like this wouldn't affect you personally.

The long and short of it is that it would affect me personally. It has an effect on the availabillity of resources in any givin area, ease of access and atainabillity.

It has an effect on how quickly people can do certain things that in turn have an effect on things I'm doing in the game. It's a fallacy to say any change made to the game would "Have no effect" Anything they change effects how I play the game. I'm just stating that in my opinion I feel it's better if there were less aether points on the map (Among other things it's more than just a aether problem the open world suffers)

I'm not sure how I have a "Personal" problem if I am stating the truth, it's you who is living a lie if you say that what other people do in a MMO doesn't effect you. If that was true then MMO's and their community interactivity has reached a sad low.

Can you name those resources, those things that people would acquire which otherwise they wouldn't? I'm also wondering about the consequences of those things, including the downside of ease of access, I'm curious about how they could damage the world (or already are damaging, since we already have the aetherytes) and how they could damage you.

Also, staying strictly on topic, can you tell me how much the game would be affected by adding an aetheryte in the places posted in the original post? What exactly would change and how it's a bad thing?

So your opinion holds the absolute truth and my opinion is a sea of lies. You are coming with a generic argument, but we're specifically talking about FFXIV, where anything valuable in game progression comes from instances or tokens.

where anything valuable in game progression comes from instances or tokens.

The entire crux of your argument is that only progression is within a instance or "token" While I could take a long shot and say that some "Token" items would be effected such as allied seals the more broad effect is on relatively inexpensive items but they will be effected.

It may not seem like much to you but a hardcore crafter/gatherer would be able to easilly agree that making items easier to access.

The overall point would be the relative ease of transportation limits the implementation of other systems and in my opinion kills the sense of exploration the world has. Again it's not soly transportation that causes some of these issues but is just another cog in a large mechanism to make the open world itself a useless artifact there for little other than it being a mandate of the series.
