Meanwhile, that is precisely how our gearing process is set up - 15-25 minutes of expert a day 5 days a week and you're at the top end of progression for a non-raider. Most of our dungeons actually take roughly as long. Ever wondered "why"? That's the casual pace! You aren't meant to commit for much longer at a time. "It's meant to take time", yeah right...

The difference is that FFXIV (and WoW and most other MMORPGs) also have a great many timesinks in between - walking to a spot, talking to a random NPC etc. And that is why MMORPG as a whole are in decline while other games prosper.
