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.
