Yeah, 1 hour content every 24 hours that they may not even able to do is definitely getting people their fill of content.

Yeah, this event is so restrictive and has such a huge lock out me and the people I play with are completely avoiding it.

Sometimes you add content to a game and restrict it so much to make it "last" that it means people don't even want to deal with the bs restrictions and instead don't do it, this there was basically nothing added to the game.

Great.

Add an assault tag/voidstone/traverser stone stacking KI system and I will have no problems with a 20 hour wait.
I have problems with feeling forced to do something every single day for months, instead of staving up and spamming it a bit over a few days when I feel like doing it.

PLEASE FIX THIS 20 HOUR LOCK OUT SYSTEM SE.

Yeah, instead it's better to get all new content done in a day and then have months of doing nothing day in day out.

No one does new content in a day. Most people run stuff for 1 hour and then disband. Only the 1% would have spammed it.

And the argument is irrelevant. No one is forcing you to spam anything. You can gear as much you want, if you want to space events, you can do it.

Also, again, 1 hour of content I can barely do (Because lockouts and random objective inside and the fact that it essentially encourages statics) is not going to get anyone their fill of content. They are back to West Adoulin "doing nothing day in day out" if they do it and if they don't it nothing change for them. No one is going to sub 1 year to get a side-upgrade to their AF. You are talking about strawmen.

Static content doesn't work in 2016 in a game with <300 players on at any given time on 75% of the servers.

I don't think I've seen a single omen shout yet either, but I see PLENTY of ambu all day everyday.

Content that can't be pugged doesn't belong in FFXI anymore. All content needs to be PUG friendly and HELPING YOUR FRIENDS friendly.

I got 17k hm outta last month's Ambuscade on the extra day in less than 3hrs. Running w/ 2x diff pug groups. It's possible to burn out current content pretty darn fast.

Nice. Meanwhile I do about 1 hour of ambu once every 2-3 days. Haven't even done it this month yet.

Woah... looking like you don't have to burn content, if you don't want it? You can play... as much you want.

The hidden point there was that I ignored it entirely for the whole month, and still managed to get it done super fast on the "bonus" day we got due to the login issues. ^^;;
Even with the grouping restrictions, I kinda like having something available that I CAN'T burn thru in one day and will have to keep plugging away at.

That's exactly the point that certain people seem to not understand.

We want options and choices, we don't want to be told "No, you can only do this content every x hours".

Ambu reward structure is pretty HEAVILY messed up but it's entry is perfect.

Omen is just a disaster.

That makes absolutely NO SENSE. Like, literally not a single bit of any sense.

You know you can "not burn through" other content, right? It's called making a conscious choice NOT to spam it.

However, omen doesn't let you make your own decisions, and tells you "You can do this once every 20 hours".

Why do you need content to be designed in a way for you to have self control over spamming it? Why is LESS CHOICES AND LESS OPTIONS/CONTROL BETTER?

Please explain your reasoning, because it doesn't make any logical sense.
