Anima and Teleportation

[Impulse]

Also It would be nice if teleport was explained by some sort of quest or story. TP as a mode of transportation seems rather random, although it is really convenient.

I think it was explained by Square some point early on, something like using the flow of aether to travel between aetherytes, with anima being the energy needed to enter/use it. I haven't seen the explanation for a while, so I could be wrong.

I know this is probably one of the LAST things that needs "fixing", if any change at all, but I was hoping to hear other players insight on teleport. Would you rather have an alternate method of world travel?

Teleports are nice if you absolutely need to be somewhere right then and there, but otherwise I would prefer to run, use a Chocobo or Airship. Hell, if Square implemented ridable Wind Drakes (FF5) at some point later on that would be nice as well.
As far as the current system goes, I'm not really liking how teleportation is being abused. If you're going to teleport somebody to an aetheryte they've never been to before, it should only be possible if said aetheryte were in the same region. When you have people bringing new players from Ul'dah to Gridania, to Coerthas and then to Mor Dhona all via teleport, it kills the aspect of adventure and exploration.
