I think XI did it right it allowed alot of transportation options but also had easy to obtain but limited supply of said warps.
Teleporting in FFXI is even easier and far more abundant than that in FFXIV. Once your anima is up in 14, you can't teleport without getting help from someone (which means you're stuck walking or begging). To say that FFXI had it right (where there were multiple and even easier ways to teleport, and where slow-moving transports were largely ignored after the first couple of years) and suggest 14 has it wrong because it's too easy to travel means you really haven't thought this out.

If you want FFXI-style teleporting, you actually want more teleporting, not less.
