I've been noticing a few things that I find wrong to new players about the Aethernet shards and summing bells. Now I've seen this issue where players will afk in the shard, new players will walk into it, then walk back, walk back into it, and then sprint away to run to the destination instead. I've been in a city and larger character models can block out the summing bell if they are using crafting benches when they lean down.
So if you don't want to give a 6hr, 12hr, 1day temp ban for being a public nuisance. I mean if you can get banned for spamming chat, then why not for blocking city access bells and aethernet. If that is too harsh, then allow an option in the teleport section to access aethernet functions when we are close to one so we don't even have to click on it at all. As for summing bell, a dead zone that says you can't craft here.
