Its been 7 and a half years. Put an Aetherite in the Dravanian Hinterlands.

Why do white knights not even know the lore of their own game

This is literally explained during the MSQ if you talked to the NPCs. There ARE aetherytes all over the map. They broke because of lack of maintenance.

And goblins:

"Once home to Sharlayan masters who fashioned aetherytes within its halls, this workshop is now home to the Illuminati, a nasty band of goblins who would wield the ancient technologies within for their own nefarious ends."

Players even go inside it to do one of the aether current blue quests and you can see it was once a travel point , but observing the surroundings is hard on some people it seems.

Thought the general reason was that the hinterlands and Idyllshire were orginally suppose to be 1 one complete zone but pre Hw launch they quickly decided not to for over pop/zone lock out reasons and instead make Idyll its own zone leaving hinterlands without an atheryte. Why they couldn't/haven't added one by now is unknown.

Each zone is in its own time zone for the moment of the story line . There isnt any map progression once you move past the story . Other players reaching that zone as part of their journey will face the same reason that there are none.

The few instances that change for an individual are few and far between, such as the beast tribe kiosks that appear once you unlock that beast tribe , or the intro zone in Rhalgars reach (which is a solo instance initially) becomes the open zone with less of the initial destructions caused by the battle you are in when you're in the early stages of the msq.

I'd like to know when they're gonna fix that broken aetherite in Coerthas Western Highlands.

Problem is it would make the one in Falcon's Nest mostly negligible since it's tucked so far away in the corner.

and give goblin beast tribe (for me) so i can get some goblin related titles

Honestly they could get rid of a lot of aetherytes..

Some zones you can literally ride from one to another in under a minute.....

Laziness and convenience gone too far imo.

The hinterlands not having one isn't a major issue you can still quite easily get to any part of that zone in ~90 seconds (once you can fly)

Pretty much this. You can find I believe 8 Aethernet crystals scattered around The Dravanian Hinterlands. If you want to be real fancy then you can also include The Arkitekton, a facility once used to make Aetherytes, currently under the control of The Illuminati (or use to be? I dunno anymore).

I would love to see the version they had in mind though, the one where Idyllshire is a part of The Dravanian Hinterlands. But I think we all know this won't be happening anytime soon, if ever.

It kind of already is. The moment you can go to Tailfeather in the Forelands it immediately becomes more convenient to teleport there, and work your way backwards into the Western Highlands, unless some story bit requires you to go to Falcon's Nest.

Put another aetherite in the low-right part of Azys Lla.

Imagine being the most advanced civilization ever, and your only way to transportation from 1 point to another of the map is mounted.

They had magitek teleporters. We use some of them to get around during the first trip through the zone, until the one leading from the dragon area to the Flagship broke down (which, conveniently, is when we get the last aether current and unlock flying).

I think they were intentionally broken by the homeland to prevent their use by other people.
