I mostly avoid the use of aether travel altogether. I'm lucky enough to have a good excuse for it since those with Garlean blood in their veins either can't use an aetheryte at all or in the case of half-breeds they can only do so on rare occasions and are usually left sick in the aftermath.
It does feel like a cop out when it's used heavily though. I can understand it being used for emergencies but it's always a shame when people seem to want to skip through any and all travel in favour of instantly arriving at their chosen destination.
I'd like to see more people getting creative and using the boat in Limsa or Costa del Sol to reflect a period of IC travel. It can be a lot of fun! You never know who you'll meet when travelling the roads either - I've had people come up and join in with role-play whilst venturing through the wilds with a friend's character.
