Or how?... I mean, are we just losing bits of gold when we teleport that get's transferred or is there just someone going around keeping up with people saying "NOPE, PAY FIRST BEFORE YOU LEAVE!" lol. How is this enforced rather XD?
This is one of those instances where it's happening, but it's not always apparent how. It's best not to think about the specifics. For instance, if you teleport to Ul'dah, it's probably a guard standing nearby who walks up and asks you to hand over the fee. How do they know how much to take? Is it honor system of where you came from? Can they turn on their aetherometers and trace your aetherial trail from its previous location? Or if you're teleporting to a remote place, like Azys Lla, what then?
When utilizing teleportation in RP, I feel like it's best to play around with teleportation's two costs (physical and monetary) in such a way that makes sense for where you're going and where you came from. If you're teleporting to Ul'dah from Gridania, make an emote about paying the guard either before or after teleportation, and depending upon your character's or characters' anima, such a journey may or may not be taxing.
If you're teleporting to a place that has no maintaining presence (Ok' Zundu(?), Azys Lla Helix, Anyx Trine, Moghome, and Zenith), aka mostly Heavensward zones, OR if you're teleporting across continent perhaps focus more on the intensive anima cost that would take upon your characters' bodies.
