    Normaly I'd say "Boo you for saying quit the game if you want to change something" but

    This isnt a "shitty game design". I do not know how they decided for 15 minutes, nor do I care. 15 Minutes are nothing. in Sea going afk for 15 minutes at a random place can still kill a 95. There are enough mobs to play with that also give exp and with some luck some drops for sea gear.

    What IS falling under shitty game design, including areas that put one part to baby mode but puts others to ultra hard mode. Gaining levels is easy now, yes. Doing early genkais became harder thanks to the mobs that can easly kill a 95 in an area like Crawlers Nest. it takes of the fun part of doing early genkai. while it WAS annoying to get ancient papyrus and exoray mold thanks to low drops, now you need to watch out as helper not to get eaten by mobs that normaly would have been no problem

    If waiting 15 minutes is such an issue to you, I hope you never get stuck in public transport or in an elevator. You probably will go insane.

    sure you can add that in your signature

    Sometimes I have to wait 10-20 minutes for an NM to respawn in abyssea.
    The Mobs surrounding that NM dont drop anything worth the while, and it could happen that I lose the NM to someone else, so I just idle around, doing nothing. What DO I do you ask?
    I turn on my TV, watching shows, playing skyrim, playing FFXI on my secondary account, going to the kitchen fetching some food, going to the toilet, or chatting with friends. I dont cry because I have to wait.

    In my sky days:
    Popped god, killed god, waited for ??? to respawn. When I was a mage, I idled around, scratched my ass, and had fun with chatting.
    Farmed Items, no item dropped for several hours, we decide to quit for the day. I am annoyed at the dioshites, annoyed we didnt get to fight an nm, annoyed we have to do that again.
    Farmed Items, get pop sets, pop nm, wait for respawn, hide in a corner so random weapons dont kill us, repop nm, rinse repeat.

    Nobody was whining about the ??? not poping as soon as the nm dropped dead. We were happy to make a short break. If you want to happen everyting in seconds and no waiting, ... not even WoW is something for you because "nms" there repop even less often (rare mobs) quest "nms" sometimes take minutes to reload, espacially if it is a NPC you have to kill for whatever reason. MMORPGs arent meant to be quick quick, they are meant to be timesinks. Be happy that SE at least tries to include good a good story.

    Ah, yeah...the best part of that FFXI game is, it lets you take breaks!
    I get to watch TV and do everything but play the game itself! Unless of course, I have another account in which I go do cool other character stuff!

    Oh, and apparently not wanting to waste time is crying.

    You do not have to even see the high level mobs to get to exorays now for mold. They are up top, please know what you are talking about before you rant.
