    The waiting serves no purpose other than to make you wait. That's what's wrong with it. Saying "it's not so bad" isn't a valid justification. You need to explain how it improves the game experience. How does it add to the challenge? How does it improve the community? How does it affect job balance? How does it prevent congestion? How does it affect the economy? How does it improve the flow of the story line? How does it regulate gear acquisition? In general, what good does it do? If all waiting does is make you wait then what's the point of it?




    That's what other content is for.





    Again I ask, "What's it going to help?"





    Who's to say I enjoyed the game longer? What if I was annoyed? And, if I wanted to be "gently teased" I'd be doing something else entirely, let me tell you.
    I said in my quote, so I already answered, but here it is again, I thought waiting ONE DAY for raja ring was nice. It was a gentle tease and something to look forward to. It gave me an extra day that I enjoyed the game, cause once I complete everything I want to complete, what else is there to do? Besides help others and hang with friends, so you see, that extra day of wait I enjoy, it's not a week which agrovates, it's a nice little tease and it extends the time I can enjoy the game for another day. There should be slight pauses inbetween content, just not 3 or more day waits. the same with HNM, 3-5 day waits is absurd, but nobody minds camping abyssea nm because of the fast respawn timers. It's also been said that people wouldn't mind new HNM, so long as the wait was no more than around 12 hours. Same thing, a little waiting is good for the soul, but some of the waits are unreasonably long. One day is no biggie, it's healthy.

    That's just me, we seem to be at odds in opinions here and that's fine, but all i'm saying is some things I feel are ok, and some things are too long. I hope SE meets in the middle.

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.
