Aetheryte in Whitebrim?

[DarkStar]

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.

Jesus I don't know why people bother suggesting anything with all these misery guts around

It'd be nice for the sake of laziness. I do question why there's a Swiftperch Aetheryte though... it's a 30sec mount run, where Aleport is almost the center point of the map. There's really nothing truly worthwhile at Swiftperch that would deem an Aetheryte actually meaningful. As far as Aetherytes being useless is concerned, Swiftperch is probably one of them. Should have probably gone to Lower La Noscea, given that Moraby Drydocks is at the very bottom of a somewhat linear map layout.

I think the reason people want another Aetheryte in Coerthas is because if there is something of interest going on at the left side of the map be it Behemoth or an Elite Hunt, you just want to teleport to the Camp on the left (the name escapes me at the moment) from anywhere in Eorzea and ride your way to the spot before it is gone. It's happened to me before where I try to run to get to Behemoth or the Elite Hunt, but it gets killed before I get there. I don't think there is any other reason than that to get an Aetheryte on the left side of the map.

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.

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.

This little back and fourth has been going on for the entire thread. Lets please relax so it doesn't end up being locked and everyone can have their say. I mean, there is a remove the ability to tele thread, so it only makes sense that someone would eventually make this plea.

I usually one use porters when gathering (idk... part of the... immersion!?), but the next time I need to go there I'll try this. I'm on my last book so hopefully I won't have to for a very long time after this.
