First of all sorry if I missed an already existing thread on the matter...
And my question is rather simple at first, but... What do you do of Aetherytes ICly? Especially the teleport mechanic that goes with them? Now then, they are obviously enforced by the lore, mind you, but what is your personal approach to them?
Even in the MSQ, there is sometimes a huge dichotomy when they speak about travel (like, you know, when you help resettle those Doma refugees in huge caravans... so why not using the aetheryte network if airship is not possible? Because not everybody can attune or something similar?).
If so, if it's not everybody's possibility to use them, I would myself be even more weary to use them ICly since it already grants you some kind of special powers in itself... But that's just me.
Also, more on a lore appreciation matter, I understand that they primarily stem from a gameplay mechanic, and I take them as such more as real tools ICly, but I also tend to think that they detract a lot on the meaningfulness of the concept of journeys, voyages, pilgrimages... When you stop going by foot or carriage, and start using jet airliners or instant teleportation, well... it ruins the grandiose a bit.
How people deal with that usually?
