Higher than usual Teleport costs?

I need you all to start doing hunts so you dont have to pay for teleports

I sometimes fly around early zones to collect hunt marks.
But I do somewhat feel a little guilty when coming across A hunts, feeling that I'm "robbing" the experience of lower level players, possibly even new players the experience of fighting them.

So why, I wonder, doesn't all "tiers" of Hunt vendors sell utility items such like the Aetherite Tickets?
Is it to motivate "older" players to go back to older zones?
The experience would still be the same, they kill the A marks in second(s) and then move on.
Not that thrilling honestly.
Maybe a FATE level sync system for A and maybe even S marks could be something to ponder over.

While I can't speak for the EU datacenters, if they're at all similar to NA's hint discords. I can assure no new player is ever touching an A or S rank. They won't be able to kill them without asking for help and the second they flag it people at max level will show up and two shot it. Which speaks to how poorly designed hunts are but the devs still seemingly believe 4-8 people are pulling an A/S like as though it's a mini boss.

IDK how hunts are organised on other DCs.

On EU - the hunt marks are posted on a Discord server. People wait about 5 minutes for people to get there and get themselves into parties, then it's pulled and killed. You can start participating in S rank hunts from 50+, no problem. As long as you hit it once before it dies, you get full rewards.

Because if the newer hunts sold the tickets, I would be doing getting 20 tickets from each expansion every week off of just the weekly hunt marks. They implemented the Sack of Nuts currency specifically to prevent this, as they want teleports to act as a gil sink. That doesn't work when you're getting 100s of free teleport tickets every week. As it is now you can still get 60 tickets every week from weekly hunts, which is more than enough for most players. If you do old A and S Ranks as well, you can get even more.

That is true.
Not sure how that could've slipped my mind.
