True and I don't think it's reasonable to ask people to switch class for a speed boost. Perma-sprint would be the best solution imo.
Anyone who has been playing for a while will remember that the cool-down on sprint used to be much much shorter. They changed it when they enabled sprint in instances. Obviously perma-sprint in combat is a bad idea, but the longer cool-down did slow us down when it comes to getting around outside.

As to the Aetherytes, sorry, I don't agree. I think the system is fine as is. There's a mini crystal conveniently located in all main areas of the cities it's just a case of learning where they are. The only one I have an issue with is the Botanist Guild in Gridania which is about as far as you can get from the Guildmaster and the quest-givers (why Square?).
