Variety in NPC stores and guild hours of operation.

I seriously think some of SE's fanbase is masochistic sometimes.

No to this. A resounding No.

All I'm asking for is a little breath of life to be blown into the world. I want NPCs that tell me to piss off because they're closed, and go home after a day's work, instead of standing there shuffling back and forth like they have to go to the bathroom 24 hours a day. NPCs with agendas, like in Majora's Mask or Oblivion, would go to great lengths at making Eorzea feel more alive. I mean, S-E did all this great mocap, then has all of the NPCs in the same position 99% of the time. You can call it masochistic if you like, but it would give there is a reason to pay attention to Eorzean time. The only time that matters now is real world time, i.e. when the next Behest is, when the leves reset etc.
