Friends Helping Friends with Aether Currents?

[kaynide]

I’d like to remove the aether currents that are “found”, but only if something else took it’s place like an often talked about Archaeology side content thing.

Some of the locations of the currents are interesting but not particularly…picturesque like sightseeing. I’d like to be able to unlock lore information I can read/refer to in game…like putting together the general timeline in place would be nice (the different calamities etc)…as of now the only way to get good, solid info is google outside of game.

I kind of like it. It's a nice little side thing to do. Nothing strenuous. =)
But I do see why others might say that it's pointless. I would like some of them to be slightly more out of the way like deep in a cave, underwater, on a random tree branch or whatever.
Also, I would say that the sightseeing log doesn't really seem the fit the exploration thing for me anymore ever since they got rid of the riddles. The only way to find one is to happen upon it or to just google a map with them all (the former being long and most likely a little tedious and the latter just not being exploration anymore). Don't get me wrong, I like the other improvements (like not being reliant on weather anymore....that one was annoying when you also needed a time of day) but it's not really 'exploration' anymore.
For me it feels better to be looking for something than it does just to have the map there with all the points on it. If you were to do something like that with aether currents, I'd say you might as well get rid of them.

But in response to OP, I'd like to think it'd be possible but we do get told 'it's difficult'/ 'idk' when it comes to stuff like this, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Edit: I don't tend to like the sidequest ones but then I don't tend to do sidequests unless it unlocks something for me.
Edit Edit: Also, Kaynide's idea about the archaeology/ little lore tidbits would be a cool thing to add to aether currents as well.
