It's highly subjective so to each their own, sure. What I personally like, though, and what XIV is severely lacking is a general sense of progression (apart from raiding, maybe). The JP midnight thing seems arbitrary, granted, but at least you are steadily progressing or have something to look forward to. Warframe does pretty much evolve around that. It's nice for my lizzard brain to get a reward after a little wait. lol Beastmen tribes do the same thing.

A little pet peeve of mine is when NPCs say they'll contact you later or whatever and you immediately can progress and everyone pretends you were gone for a few days. But that's just me. But I can understand when people don't like waiting around. But it's not like there aren't other things to do. Oh, and doesn't DF reset at JP midnight? Guess that's a vestige from that.

On the weather front, I strongly disagree. It was part of a strategy to take the day and moon phase into account whether you were fighting or crafting. It was awesome! lol And it really meant something when you were in a snowstorm or at a hot beach. But then again, the overworld posed an actual threat. If anything, it really helps me immerse myself. In XIV, the weather is literally just a set dressing, switched on and off like the white sky in ShB (I will say, though, that it's neat how the weather changes when monstrs like Ixion are around).
