"Aether" is a deus ex machina created by the lore and storytellers of the FFXIV development team in an attempt to simplify physics in a game where a wound heals with light and little people can summon a comet as a LB. Since it is such it became the basic "realism" of the game for RPers as that is the established reality of the game. Its not that a RPer is lazy I think when they say "because... aether". Its just the only real flushed out tool in this game as laws of physics go. So don't blame the RPer if they say it, at least they aren't saying "because.... Echo".
