To be able to say YES! i completed this weapon over a long time, working hard, it feels great to have it now!

This is what achievements are, this is how people become proud of possessions. If everything was a 5min re-pop, where is the challenge? Where is the pride and honor?

Welcome to Final Fantasy 11, work hard, or die trying.

and 8hours... it used to be a lot worse, try 21-24 hours for a NM or even up to 72 hours for a CHANCE pop...
In my opinion, this is crazy talk. Just because it's better than it was, doesn't make it better. The whole system is against the players and drags things out longer than it has to. This whole business about sitting around in the game in one spot for hours just isn't cool. Again, that's my opinion.
