    New players have trouble with Isghard teleport because it is named "Foundation".

    This pops up fairly often in novice network.

    Sprouts sometimes can't remember how to teleport to Ishgard because the zone and teleport are called just "Foundation". It would help immensely if the zone and teleport were called "Ishgard - Foundation" instead. Every other city in the game contains the city name in the zone and teleport names. The inconsistency with Ishgard causes unnecessary confusion for new players.

    What I like about Foundation is I can tell new players they need to teleport there for something without saying "Ishgard" and spoiling that they go there. It may be pretty obvious you go there but not everyone figures that out necessarily and why would I want to spoil it?

    You can still tell people to "teleport to Foundation" without telling them to "teleport to Ishgard". The naming of the zone spoils nothing on its own, as anyone who has been there and attuned to the aetheryte has seen that the zone is part of Ishgard; and the autotranslate phrase (Ishgard - Foundation) would probably not carry significant context for spoilery without additional supporting context. Names are an interface. As an interface, the name "Foundation" demands a higher cognitive load than "Ishgard - Foundation", since most people who want to teleport to Ishgard want to teleport to Ishgard.

    Wait... huh?
    If you tell them they need to TP there, wouldn't they have already had to visit there first?

    The other new players in the chat may not be up to there yet.

    I don't think it's that much of a spoiler to say "you go to ishgard at some point". The why would be the actual spoiler
