Leave the long fights for NM and boss battles.

then I guess I dont care, I dont find killing normal mobs fun I find killing bosses fun, killing normal ones is something I'm forced to do to get to the fun part.
Also not everyone is a THM, as well as thunder thundara is a combo and the combo is what makes it so awesome

* The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
* Design ideas:
Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
10-15min fight is not that long of a boss fight.... go play Dragons Dogma and Fight Ur Dragon Online right now. Ya, You won't kill em in 10-15mins, soo fun too!~
Most people probably can't kill em in 15mins offline either, sooo ya, we need longer fights. if a single player game beats an mmorpg on fights, that's sad.
It's reasonable when you have a dungeon where you're going to have to fight somewhere between 7 and 12 bosses (unless you're expecting the developers to continue the one boss per instance nonsense). Even FFXI eventually started putting in enrage timers (though theirs are a bit longer because XI's combat system is as slow as molases) in order to place something resembling a time limit on each fight. 15 minutes would already be longer than WoW, as their encounters all have a 10-minute enrage barring Lich King, which was designed to be a longer fight. Would also fit XIV's battle pace, which is faster than XI but nowhere near as quick as WoW's.

Too bad Yoshida already agreed fights are too short and mobs die too quickly. He's in favor of increasing all battle lengths.
