New City Aetheryte shards confusing

[Rynia]

Now, now, there's no reason to insult people. Different people think in different ways. Some people are good with words, some people are better with maps.

As this was slated to be introduced in ARR on literally 2.5 years ago, it isn't such a bad thing to have both options available.

I worded it badly (it's 8am is my only excuse xP) and was about to edit when you posted =P But I stand by what I said. This feels like pure laziness to me, because even if the names don't have context for you, which I get can happen, you can just memorise them. Which would take me forever as my memory is terrible xD
Kind of what I was trying to get at, this whole renaming thing is unnecessary because there's already more than one way to know which is which and regardless it's only a few seconds worth of inconvenience if you choose the wrong one. But eh, I guess I can deal with a little bit less immersion if it helps some people.

The only aetherite I remember having trouble with was the "Hustings Strip" in Uldah, which was renamed "Chamber of Rule". I guess I always misread the word as "Hustling Strip" which sounds like something related to the pugilist guild or a busy market place. In fact, it was only while typing this that I learned that "Husting" is a word that relates to government assembly. (Thanks Google!)

The lore team can be very creative in naming things in the world, but fast travel really should be about "convenience".

I don't think it's necessary to rename things either but bringing up the map like they were going to will solve a lot of issues, while not damaging immersion too much (I hope!) and giving on screen context to the locations some people will struggle with regardless of what they're called. Hopefully they'll remember that original plan (or my translated quote above will remind them) and they'll do that instead of renaming things.
