Should I take Friday the 16th off?

[Meraii]

I've been off work for the past week with illness, I don't think my boss would take too kindly to me booking Friday off as well. :P

[Rgbg]

Never play on a patch day. Even though Heavensward launch went quite smoothly IIRC, I did not take the day off on Friday, just in case.

[Aronys]

Yup, taking Friday and the entire next week off. Can't wait! ^^

Honestly I am cautious about it. I spent more time staring at a queue than playing the game when I took the time off for heavensward.

Friday: Work till 16:30
Saturday: Afternoon work on my terrace
Sunday: planned 6-10 Hours work in my mothers garden
Next week: Normal working hours

tl:dr
I just keep living like always. Why bother racing to be the very first if that doesn't even matter the slightest?

I work as a volunteer at a local tv station, but I actually took friday off :P Not because I want to "race", but because I'm just really looking forward to playing this expansion. However, it seems like I may not be able to play after all. Because my PC kinda died yesterday. *fml* Worst timing ever. Praying I can manage getting a new one before SB hits.

I agree with this sentiment the people who rush through the content are always the first to complain they're bored and unsub.

LOL not everybody is doing it for the sake of racing. It's an expansion full of content that people want to enjoy. There are features like new jobs or story or dungeons that people have been waiting for ages, so they can't wait to give it a try. Some people have different ways to deal with it.

I have Pld at 60, Whm at 59, 1 crafter at 60 and the rest is at 50 / a little higher.
I still have an insane amount of Achievements to do. I still have a lot of classes to lvl.
Why should i rush one class to lvl 70, denying myself enjoyment of the story just to say "HAH, i was at 70 on day 2, scrubs."

Idk, i just cant relate to such things. As someone who is working in a full time job i just don't feel like an mmo should have such an impact on my life, and i absolutely cannot understand people putting so much time into the game that they can claim "there is nothing more to do" "i am bored" "this game needs more content" "Why is everything so easy" "Why can we beat XYZ in 1 Week when we only raided 10hours for 5 days straight".

Yes, and beeing able to play the desired class / content 1 day after release instead of 2-3-4-5 days after release.... changes their life in which way?
I can allready see topics
"I dont like Red mage, i waited 2 years, why is it shit"
"Why can you lvl to 70 in 1 day if you only do fates"
"Why XYZ if you continue to play for 1 week straight"
"Why Why Why Why"

And if you look closely, its mostly gonna be people who do nothing buy play play play play play play straight after release.

Oh, and dont forget conntection issue topics. Loving those

So what? It's their problem not yours. For some people it's a big deal and they have the right to complain about they don't like. Do you think that people who won't rush won't complain either? It's fine if YOU don't want to devote time to the game as others (or myself) will, and you exposed your reasons why (irl, which is completely fine). But attacking people because they will? tsk, tsk, tsk... I don't know what's your problem with them, to be honest. :/
