Aetheryte in Whitebrim?

[RachaelMarie22]

Working on my animus has made me realise we need one. Coerthas is much bigger than south shroud or northern thanalan which both have two.

Where's the coerthas aetheryte love?

get on that choco and start running, it's quite the adventure.

Geographically speaking it's a longer run from Summerford Farms to Mine the Unspoiled Node at 7pm than to Whitebrim from Dragonhead. They should add an Aetheryte at the La Thagran Checkpoint so I don't need to go very far to mine my La Noscean Topsoil.

Where is the Zephyr Drift Aetheryte Love?

What? Why would you not go to the city Aetheryte and then use the Net to 'port out the Zephyr Gate?

Because I don't find them boring. The road form Dragonhead to Whitebrim is. Seriously, nobody wants to read this back and forth for over a page. My post was pretty clear.

So your initial argument was it's stupid to have to run to Whitebrim every time you need to do something there, yet it'd be fine to run to other locations of longer distance because they're not boring? You are clutching at straws a little. It might have just been easier to say "You have a point" or "Then they should add them to more locations" than come up with this pathetic defense for your laziness.

Well some of these comments were interesting >.> there's only so much snow you can look at travelling between dragonhead and whitebrim, nothing wrong with wanting another aetherye where it would make sense to have one.

*Rawrr forum rage rawrr*

Snow, lava, thunderstorms, chocolate wonderland... How the environment is should not determine where we should and shouldn't get an aetheryte. The bottom line is the run from Dragonhead to Whitebrim is one of the least used (quests, levequests and gathering at the Mistletoe Unspoiled Botany Node) runs with the shortest distance, yet it's being singled out for an Aetheryte. There are places we go to far more often that take far longer to run to. And where would it stop? Why don't we just add an Aetheryte to every location we'll ever do something at.

Good grief, transportation is already too fast and you want more aetheryte?

Auto-Run. It is your friend. Seriously, it's very nearly a straight shot from Dragonhead to Camp Whitebrim, and when on your choco, hardly anything can touch you. If you're really worried about getting Heavy'd while riding, just dismount, hit sprint, and run there instead.

Honestly, I feel the game's Aetheryte Network is just fine as it is, if a little bit wonky in places (Swiftperch doesn't need an aetheryte, Red Rooster Stead does). What I think the game DOES need, is a more complete Chocobo Porter network. Seriously, there are several locations with Chocobo Porters that, for whatever reason, aren't connected to the relevant city node, like Gold Bazaar or Buscarron's Druther. I know it's faster to just teleport and cheaper to ride there yourself, but sometimes I just want to hop onto a 'taxi' and go and make myself a sammich or take a break or something while the game does the 'hard' work for me.

Possibly an instinct from back when I played WoW, which didn't have any instantaneous teleportation, unless you were a Mage...

I actually pay the porter to take me to Whitebrim

I kinda wish porters actually went to more places, I hate how half the time they don't go where I think they should.

You're just being tedious at this point. You were trying to sound like a smartass, but you failed. I won't entertain you any longer, you just want a sterile argument that will go nowhere. Have your internet win points or whatever.

That's a bit rich, kiddo. I'm not the one getting salty because somebody is questioning my opinion.

I just want to know why Whitebrim is so special. My original point was, "If we add one to Whitebrim, why not everywhere else we go to?" I was met with needless hostility and honestly, have been from you since... Even when I was simply trying to reiterate my point. But whatever. Tell me I'm being the smartass. Award me internets. Just blanket replies to cover up the fact you clearly have no reasoning behind your argument other than "I can't be arsed to run!". Six replies, and still no answer at all to the original question. Can't help but find the above quoted post a bit rich considering how many times I've tried to get a straight answer out of you.

We could use an aethernet warp for each city that dumps you outside the residential district. It's not a huge deal or anything, but it'd save us the trouble of slingshotting to do the same thing.
