I have a problem with aether currents because they make you do it in every fucking zone.....Hey look, I unlocked flying, sweet......*progresses to the next zone for leveling* Well look at that, my mount forgot how to fly......

There's progression to unlock something and then there's stupid for the sake of stupid. Its like if ARR gave you a chocobo license but only after you have mapped out all the roads for the zone and then the new zone you're back on foot again. The entire concept of aether flows is dumb and tedious and useless once you unlock all the currents for the zone. I've unlocked two zones, both of which by the time I unlocked flying I was done with the zone and moving onto the next area. Pointless.....
