You've written before about how unwilling you are to use teleports of any anount over... 300 gil, I think it was?

I really think this is a self-inflicted problem for you. The game is built around the average player having to make frequent teleports that cost up to 1000 gil (700 if your FC has the fee reduction buff active, 350 if a favoured destination) and being worried about spending that much ever is just crippling in ways that the developers don't see as an issue.

Plan your trip and gather efficiently, sure. Make use of your favoured destinations and return point. But don't see it as unreasonable to have to warp from Eorzea to Othard - it's expected that you will do so. Regularly.
