WoW has time limits as well on stuff thats meant to be "challenging", like the Zul Aman timeruns, where you only get the Bear Mount if you manage to safe all 4 prisoners in time.(old Zul Aman, no clue how the new Zul aman in Cata works)

There are a lot of MMOs out there that have time limits on stuff. Usually its stuff thats meant to be challenging cause a timelimit will add to that challenge!

PS: If you need to go afk to pamper a crying baby...don't you think you shouldn't be playing endgame in an MMORPG at all? I'm sick of people thinking everything needs to be catered to them. If you can't invest time for a game that demands time investment, fnid yourself another game that does allow you to invest less time(focused time)

I play FFXIV a lot, cause I only work part time and got a gf that I can only see on the weekends(where I don't play at all).
But believe me...the moment I work full time and got something like a baby to take care of this game is history. There is more important stuff than this and if you fail to see this, you have my sincere pity...I only ivnest this much time into this game cause I can and the game more or less demands and it's not going to be better(less time) at all, so if you can't handle this fact, you shouldn't have started playing XIV in the first place. I know SE said the game will be more casual than XI...but honestly...are you that naive to think an MMO won't be a huge timesink at ALL times? There is no MMO out there that's not a huge timesink if you want to be a "good" player, no matter how "casual" the devs of it say it is.
