OMG please remove some of the aetherytes, the world feels tiny

No one is forcing you to use them. If you refuse to explore unless it's your only choice how entertained by it can you be? Certainly not enough to justify adding filler time to everyone else's game making them go through maps they've already been through/have no interest in.

So don't use them. Nothing is stopping you from walking everywhere if thats what you want to do. I personally like the convenience of aetherytes as I don't have infinite time to play. If whatever I had to do next required me walking for 20 minutes i'd just turn the game off and do something else more fun with my free time.
