You think everyone teleports around? With the exception of my free teleport location and Return, I almost never do.

It's a habit picked up early on as a low-level player, back when gil was barely trickling in and I could hardly ever afford to teleport anywhere. (Even airship tickets were priced out of range for a while.) I got used to traveling overland wherever I needed to go, or would use cheap 40 gil ferries, and (once I got it) my free teleport location, as well as Return. Even now, when I have millions of gil on hand, I'll generally avoid any teleport that costs more than 100, since by the time I reached that point I was used to the notion that that's overpriced, and I can get around just as well without it.

Back when my hunt linkshells were more active, I did sometimes teleport to get to a hunt mark. And there have been a time or two I've teleported to where someone needed help (someone shouting for a Raise, or an FC member asking for help with a FATE they needed but couldn't solo). But those exceptions are fairly rare. Traveling just doesn't have the sort of time urgency to make teleport useful very often.
