But the reason why there is no aetheryte is because Minfilia is scared of cancer. You should be afraid of those 5G aetheryte crystals, too!

You say that like the lore was there for decades and the mechanics were written with them in mind, not the other way round. Namely some bullshit lazy lore written to justify a mechanism to extend game content/time played.

I fail to see how a regular 2 minute run extends time played that much. Even more so since they don't give a shit about time played metrics.
Was it annoying that you couldn't TP there back then? Yes. The point is completely moot though since the HQ was moved in Mor Dhona afterward.
You didn't want to run? You either took the chocobo ride from Horizon and went to grab a beer or take a piss, or stopped being retarded and used the ferry from the Arcanist guild in Limsa.

Well since every quest step had you go back there, that's several hours of playtime.
And back then I was on a PC barely able to run the game, so no, I'm not going to Limsa and getting a ferry for an extra loading screen on top of the one to get into the zone and the two to get to fucking Minfillia.
Why are you defending this? The town could have had an Aetherite no problem. It's a shitty thing the game used to have.

Yes, it should have had one. The devs understand that, so they give you some tickets that give you a free teleport there now during the MSQ.
There isn't much point in adding one now because you have almost 0 reason to go back there after they decide to move their base.

Yeah, that's my point. It was annoying, but it's nowhere near the huge issue people are making about it. What's the point of sperging over something most of us went through like 8 years ago?

Because the game is still plagued by multiple step teleport quests and long boring monologues by the Scions. I'm starting Shadowbringers patch content and I'm dreading it.
One thing WoW gets right is the medium of storytelling, even though the story is shit.

Crystal Tower is a pre-req for some ShB MSQ stuff, so if you never did it, you should.
Tiu can watch the old cut scenes at the endless journey table in your inn room if needed

Turnins + barracks right next to the aetheryte is the best.
People love them some limsa, and the glam set is decent, but its not right next to the port in, so ehhhhhh

Except now you always have an Aetheryte nearby most of the time? Though if you're up to Shb and still not liking the story delivery, it's probably just not your thing.
