Extreme redirection, yes, but if it doesn't apply to other geodes to this extent then it shouldn't be an excuse as to why they can't amend fire weather occurrences. This doesn't just apply to the geode stage, but all stages period since there should be the option to work on it even if you can't manage to get on when the day is up.

There shouldn't be an absolute reliance for casual or time restrictive players to have to rely on AH to get the items when others are steadily, and constantly, raising the price. Not when similar rare weathers actually do occur more frequently due to being able to go into instanced areas, or just hang out in Mire/xarc(s)/vhazl(s)/glacier(s) and still complete these on a more casual play time.

Why would you be rearranging your sleep schedule or rushing to get home? Does SE require you to finish your weapon in a certain time frame? No. Take as long as you want. You chose to do those things that alter your real life situation/schedule, not SE. You wanted the item faster, SE didn't force you to create it so fast. Casual playing is just that, casual. Don't try to act like you're a casual player when you're willing to make unnecessary sacrifices for a video game, then blame the creators for making you do so. Can't make the next firesday? Wait for the next, or the next, or the next, etc.
