Aether Currents Comparing Heavensward to Dawntrail

[ACE135]

I'm actually not a fan of the change, neither the reduction nor the replacement of the Aether Currents. I liked to explore the map for that regard and it felt a bit like a reward. Also the completely uncovering the mini map as soon as you step foot on the map for the first time in older expansions also removes incentives to explore. It kind of just encourages the direct movement from quest giver to quest giver rather than getting to know the world and its surroundings.

You can still do that on your own. The people who are interested in exploring the map and "getting to know the world" will do so regardless of how the system works. For those who want to get through the old story so they can get to current content, the system is fine as it is.
