If these materials could be used to make new items, that crafters Wouldnt want to get their hands on it themselves? I dont find that hard to believe At, ALL.
Before anybody mentions not everyone would use a ship...there is also an Alt means of traveling to different Aetherytes. And even places like Ultima have Aetheryte.
Also consider the Azem Crystal. You can literally summon companions with it.

And please, nobody is Offended by you wanting to hide their existence.
Its just being called into question why you would play an MMO, but want to be rid of the MMO. If you dont want to be in a social space, why not just play a Single Player Game?
Its fine that you like and want to play FFXIV. But wanting to get rid of a core part of what makes an MMO is a little silly.
Gameplay wise, yes, other Adventurers would obviously get on a ship to space. However, in the game's own plot, this has yet to be established. Within the game's plot, my character should be the only one with Azem's crystal. Therefore, other adventurers should not exist in Elpis. And I doubt the WoL would just summon other Adventurers here and there to gather and fish on a far away dead star without a good reason, no matter how endlessly amazing this exact same node she's hit a bunch of times is.

And if my playing an MMO is being called into question, then I'll just be honest: As a huge fan of the FF series who ignored this one and XI because I've never been able to enjoy MMOs in the past, I played the free trial for FFXIV years ago on a whim because of constant requests from a sibling to try it out. I was shocked at how well the gameplay worked on a Playstation controller, and how legit of a FF story the game featured. Afterwards I continued to play, with a focus on MSQ content, and the rest is history. Sibling no longer plays anymore, so I'm alone. I only got seriously into the game because of the MSQ, since I'm mainly a JRPG player. The game also just so happened to be an MMO. Is that enough life story reasons for you?

It's not silly for me to want to enjoy the game the way I always have, but with some improvements. The game practically encourages solo gameplay. No where are you really required to spend time with other players, outside of Trials. (Which is also changing soon too.) I'm simply used to this type of gameplay and assumed others were too. Apparently not. And trust me, the second this game gets a single player adaption outside of the MMO, I'd be gone. At least I wouldn't have to worry about paying the subscription anymore lmao.
