As a new player all over again, I have to say I'm in favor for removing the time restrictions or at least increasing the base amount a traverser stone lasts.
I was not able to have my character restored (account cancelled in 2004). When I decided to play again in January, I had to start from scratch. I talked to Joachim very early on. I collected all celerities & sojourns immediately upon the first few days I had gotten into abyssea content. Here I am a month or so later after all of that and I'm still pretty much living stone to stone.
I'm also a paying customer, paying for content that I can't readily access unless I stop doing it. Which is back ass backwards. I shouldn't have to stop doing the content... to be able to do it. That's just fucking retarded. Most peopl who have an abundance of stones that "will never run out" are people who have quit for a length of time and renewed their subscription. I'm not going to do that for the sake of being able to play content that I want to access now. Players shouldn't also be practically required to get into an exp / cruor farming party to max time just to be able to have more time to spend in these zones. This is also reinforced when these zones offer quests that require fame, some of which is incredibly boring to gain and very time consuming even with run speed bonuses.
So before anyone gets off on the elitist nerd bandwagon, think about that and try to picture yourself in a new players shoes. Trust me, there is not enough worthwhile things to do outside of abyssea with all missions complete.
