Because we're already playing a game that you play on your downtime for most people, and also it's a game that will zip you from the depths fighting Bahamut to a rip in space/time fighting an Ascian, then to a ghost pirate airship, three levels of a tower with one being in another dimension, and inside a giant metal robot, but it can't park us beside our race birds or to where we can command some minions to romp around.

Also, they really should start introducing a DF option for these and perhaps enforce it for tournaments; Sure, it lessens the aspect of the tournament being amongst potential peers in the same server, but then again it just makes it a different kind of tournament.
