I use these in larger maps, avoiding random agro and distractionslike Fallgaurd Float to Hyrstmill or whatever, ive used that SOOO many times
My biggest gripe with travel, the teleportation menu. MMOs decided to really shrink their worlds by giving everyone instant travel all over the place. If airships and Chocoporters were the only method of transportation outside of Cities (aethernets are fine inside) the world would feel much bigger, solid, and not just a bunch of zones we randomly teleport to.
