I would really like to see a changed to timed pop NMs in Sky. Having recently discovered that it's very difficult to get Zipacna, even when you're home. Let alone when you work. Having camped several pops recently, I'm always competing against several others (usually BST). That's fine but then to have to wait another 2-4 hours for a repop and then fail to get the damn mob starts to grate.

Synergy and the ability to augment sky items has meant that there is quite a demand for seals. Having THF and being able to farm up Ro'maeve water fairly fast, solo Olla and then be unable to pop Genbu because I can't get a Zip claim is a bit frustrating. I don't mind paying for items, especially a I can farm Dyna but I don't know how many seals I'm going to need. Right now, Genbu seals cost 500-800k each. Gem of the North costs 800k+.

30 min pop might solve it but more realistically make it as the OP says and let us farm up items to pop the NMs. Zip doesn't need his own Aery.
