60 Minute Time Limit on New Dungeons

This is a bad thing how? From what I understand almost all instanced content on almost any MMO is timed to some extent?

How is this time limit a bad thing? Unless it's gruelingly brutal on time "Nyzul" I can't see any issues.

So besides FFXI, what MMO's are you referring to. I have played over 10 MMO's and have never encountered any time limit instanced dungeon situations besides FFXI, and I dont remember that from any of the COP dungeons, just the couple of endgame ones.

CoP "Dungeons" were a area, not a instanced event. If I recal Correctly Ultima Online also had some timed dungeons as well.

One reason to limit the alloted time is probably to creat a sense of urgency and actual teamwork. Hell Limbus could be SOLOD by a single blackmage and if givin unlimited time they would be able to finish the entire thing.

Exactly. You'll be able to take in the scenery just fine as well as get the job done within an hour. Besides with different objectives, you might have to revisit the same place multiple times until you know whats up.
