I just think the simple argument is that the planned implementation makes the airships utterly pointless. Why not just add a teleportation NPC in each adventurer guild? It'd save development resources. I think the better argument is simply this: if the airships are going to be implemented, they should be content that actually serves a purpose, rather than being content that wastes development time/effort and is only there to do what a stock NPC model placed anywhere in the city could do.
The argument is fairly simple.

If you're ok with easy-modeing transportation under the choice argument.
Then logically you must be ok with letting people click a level up button
and sadly, logically you must be ok with bots. because they are just a persons choice to avoid work.

Im pretty sure no one is ok with botters (least i hope so cuz they are against ToS)

But the main point is if you start easy moding an entire game for the sake of convenience where do you draw the line? The mentality that people should be able to choose to fast-track through an MMO can lead to its death. You basically don't make it an adventure anymore, you make it a game based on efficient fast GRINDING. Thats kind of against the heart and soul of FF, a story heavy -adventuring- series. Again, what FF game had instant warps?
