Exploration and finding hard-to-reach areas IS gameplay.

It's not the kind of gameplay you personally want, and that's ok. But that absolutely is gameplay.

Personally I've enjoyed the aether current hunts so far. Especially figuring out how to climb certain hills/mountains to get to where the current is. I quite enjoy that kind of thing (also enjoyed GW2's vistas a lot).
