There was a post awhile back that adventurers are generally heartier and do not suffering the aetherial sickness that a commoner might, which is why most NPC's stay "close to home".
I think certain restrictions being imposed during certain sorts of events seem reasonable to prevent godmode, but I also feel that it's an element of the universe of Final Fantasy XIV and shouldn't be forsaken just because of the possibility for abuse.
In past RP I have suggested that it requires a certain amount of focus, and even once suffered a condition where one of my characters was unable to teleport due to this lack of focus, being unable to recall being attuned to aetheryte, or other aetherial sorts of blocks that made things a bit interesting.
It's easy to have events where a DM-type-person says, "you can't teleport" for whatever reason - aetherial disturbances, whatever. I think most RPers wouldn't abuse it, and sort of self-impose these blocks in order to facilitate more interesting storylines. But like things like magic, abilities, etc. - players are going to vary in opinion with what is acceptable and what is not.
