(BDO is my other main game besides this :P)
I have. Although it does improve travel speed notably, it does get old travelling through the same areas again and again. Case in point, Horizon to Vesper Bay during ARR. After a while, it just got annoying despite the game presenting a perfectly logical reason why VB didn't have an Aetheryte. Getting people out into the open world is fine, but I want it to be interesting. Having to travel through zones as massive as the Churning Mists or Dravanian Hinterlands would feel tedious to me.
