It's strange how if you go to a starting city-state and use the airship, the cost of the Gold Saucer airship ride is free.
But the teleport to get there isn't.
Gold Saucer does not advance the MSQ, side quests, or general gameplay beyond the Make it Rain campaign. It's design to simply be a place for people to play games and to be able to relax when they have nothing better to do. (Or procrastination. Guilty.)

Isn't the whole lore behind it that someone is collecting your gil at the aetheryte? Why collect the gil if you're offering free airship transportation?
With so many people saying there's not much in the game to do, it'd make sense for the developers to just allow anyone to teleport there for free as a place to relax.
