That is partially true. Nobody can teleport everywhere, and eventually we have to wait for transportation. Anima is the only valuable currency in the game right now. The point of airships would be quick travel between the cities to visit the crafting guild of your choice, check various market wards and meet up with friends in a time friendly manner without using anima. If I have to wait 10-20 minutes to get there, nothing changes for me (and most other players) because we will simply teleport.

Arguments against this are asinine. There is a fine line between maintaining immersion and punishing players. I wouldn't mind if airships were a group instance where you talk to an npc and have the option to sleep through the ride, and pop out on the other side. The players who wish to ride the thing for the whole time are free to.

Can anyone explain why forcing every player to sit and be bored is a good thing? There are enough time sinks in the game as-is.
