Auto path option would it be possible?

[Seraphor]

Yes agree with you in this point even in big city maps could be useful, outside with the chocobo function makes no sense the autopath did mention big maps where one player wastes more time such as Eureka maps because of the grinding.

Even in cities, this function wouldn't be necessary if the aetherytes were placed a little more strategically.

Like Idyllshire, why is there an aetheryte on the left side of the city map where there's no points of interest whatsoever, but nothing right down the bottom by all the crafter/gatherer stalls?
Why not place an aetheryte in Gridania for the airship landing, or the Archers guild? I know it's not a particularly long way to walk, but then you have others really close together like Arcanists guild and Hawkers Alley in Limsa.
