Any talk about them doing away with Aether Currents for flight

[linayar]

That is the thing it differs from person to person. Yeah it is far from a grind that point of contention I disagree with from some. Though the value currents offer is meh at best. For me currents kept me in a zone for longer then I needed to be aka busy work. Just like I view the sight seeing log as a busy work task. Sure some like it but it is not my thing. It is an MMO though busy work comes with the genre though that inclusion of busy work is a factor as to why I feel the genre has stagnated over the keys coupled with many other things. Though yes to you it may not seem like busy work but I do hope you can see why to others it may be seen as nothing but busy work and thus they may not like it.

Well, I can see why some people don't want to do it. In fact, one reason why I always use MSQ boost for alt characters is to not have to do aether currents again.

It's just that I don't qualify it as busy work, though I will concede that it can be subjective in terms of how people interpret what it means (but I would still disagree).

I just think that people have this idea that, if it doesn't take a long time to do, that it's fine to do it even if you're not having fun doing it. That's why I'm more against the idea of interpreting busy work as something that merely you don't find value in (intrinsically).

For me, the term "busy" in "busy work" has a meaning. If it's only something you don't find value in, "meaningless/unfun chore" might be a more appropriate term.

"Taking longer than it needs to be" does not necessarily equate to busy for me.
