No, I didn't do things in the least expedient method. I made enough money to build a relic in a few days of selling skirmish items (I actually already had enough money to build a couple, but that's besides the point). That was by far more "Expedient" than farming dynamis for coins. There is no requirement to actually "do content". Never has been. You can just buy all the items and turn them in. I built my first relic by selling sky / limbus / sea drops. Many others before me have funded them in similar ways because there was never a requirement that you farm all the currency your self. Farming dynamis is actually really low down the list of "Expedient" ways to build a relic.
But all of that is besides the point because there is a thing called cause and effect. SE caused the wait time. Me having to wait a week cannot happen without SE first putting said wait time in the game. Just as you didn't cause the wait by talking about it. You talked about it because SE made it. My waiting and your commenting on it are an effect of SE creating the wait. Without SE first creating the wait time, none of this would happen. Understand how that works? Great! Now here's the cool thing. SE can take it out. Not only that, but they've built an entire web forum specifically for people to request changes just like this. And if they remove the wait time, You can still wait a week to get your weapon if that's what makes you happy. No one will try to stop you. How cool is that?
That's all your opinion and that's cool. That's all it is though. Lore wise, none of this stuff existed when the game came out, so lore wise it makes perfect sense for them to change the lore any time they want just like they always have.
If hearing about how two weeks is too long bothers you, you are also playing the wrong game.
I did know. I did care. I didn't hoard. I had the money to build one before I had the need. Your assumptions are all wrong.
Your denial sounds like saying "please keep this thing because purple".

It's more that it's not worth the developer's time to change for something few people ever have to deal with, and which is completely avoidable (unless you actually banked enough gil to buy everything you needed in one shot and found people with that much to sell all at once)Your denial sounds like saying "please keep this thing because purple".
It's probably a matter of changing a value from say "144" to a "1". I doubt the devs will have to cancel any important work to do that.
So far no one arguing against this change has even experienced the delay because they don't buy / stockpile currency, so this thread is just a bunch of people arguing against something that has absolutely no effect on them either way. If they changed this during maintenance tonight, no one would even notice besides me and the OP. Yet people are here trying to stop it. It's really rather telling.
I guarantee you nothing in this game is that simple. If it were, there are a lot of things that took months/weeks/years that they could have addressed in 2 secondsIt's probably a matter of changing a value from say "144" to a "1". I doubt the devs will have to cancel any important work to do that.
no. when you create something and you put lore to it, it doesn't just go away. Legendary weapons (on any game, not just this one) should not be made instantly. Anyone who argues otherwise is just an instant gratification person.
I never said nor implied that hearing how two weeks is too long would bother me. You made an argument, I countered it as your argument makes no sense. I then went on to say that if two weeks is too long for you that you are playing the wrong game as this game isn't designed to be played for a short term. Doesn't matter if there aren't going to be any major updates after November. One can still play the game. I think I have you pretty much pegged now...you are an instant gratification person.
That's pretty vague. You could apply that logic to just about anything that you don't want changed. It's not necessarily true though. Just a theory. Personally, I've done a fair amount of coding though and if it didn't work the way I described, I'd be really surprised. I mean it's possible, but incredibly unlikely. The only thing that MIGHT be difficult is finding the spot where the timer is at in the code.
They aren't made instantly. You have to earn the currency and then do a bunch of other quests to upgrade them.
The outcome doesn't affect you either way. It only affects me. You said it your self. You don't earn the currency fast enough to be affected by the delay.
Let's be clear here. You aren't arguing that people should have to work harder or be better players. You are arguing that people should just sit and wait. Otherwise they are bad people somehow. Why are we even writing this on the internet? We should be writing letters to each other or sending smoke signals (we should be communicating in the slowest way possible right?). Or just waiting. Instant gratification people... sheesh.
I'd rather see the devs change other things then this with their limited time and resources. 2 weeks is nothing and i fully agree with Alhanelem and Singforu... Maybe we should get rid of all the waiting times in game (sarcasm). There are far more important things which need to be adressed then this.
