Patch day and occasional repairs in Idyllshire and Hinterlands

[Lambdafish]

Because the Hinterlands is a open world rather than city zone. The Aethernet system is so you can move around settlements easily. Installing instant teleportation systems in a open world map is unnecessary (because of flight) and undermines the sense of space in the in a zone.

He was talking about the aetherites that can transport us to the outside of the town.

Wasn't it the case they originally wanted to include Idyllshire into the Hinterlands, but ran into memory issues?

It's probably the same reason the extremely obvious Binding Coil entrance in Mor Dhona was never used. Putting the raid entrance everyone AFKs around in the same zone as the vendors everyone AFKs around would end up locking people out of the zone most of the time.
