I honestly miss the old boats, but I think having Teleport/Warp open to everyone makes much more sense. I'd prefer something in between the two. Honestly, pre-flight, I felt like WoW had a fairly good balance, when flight paths were more limited (and it's honestly rare that I think WoW's implementation of something was better at any point than FFXIV's implementation). WoW actually had actual boats as well, rather than just "click yes to teleport across the water" stuff like we have here. They just came a lot more often than their equivalents in FFXI did.
