So you camped for 100 hours just to receive an item slightly better for a job you will level and never look back at the item again. That's is nothing to boast about to anyone.

If that's what someone wants to do with their time and they enjoy so be it. It doesn't effect either one of us so why care? That's like me being pissed that someone ate falafel in Central Park for lunch - it only impacts them and the vendor. If people want falafel and the vendor is willing to selling aaaaaand it doesn't have any impact on us why freak out?

Because said content has to be made for the majority of the player base, else it's not worth the cost of development. It pretty much goes without saying most people will not camp hours on end for a piece of fluff gear. If they have absolutely nothing better for members of their development team to do (which by the looks of things won't happen for at LEAST 2 years) then that's when it's worthwhile to do it.

No it's not like that at all. Everything that's added into this game needs to be evaluated and checked for the costs.
Yoshi-P constantly has similar writings in his posts so it's safe to assume Big Daddy SE isn't just throwing money at him. If Yoshi purchases a falafel he better have enough for the majority to eat.

Yoshi needs to continue using his limited resources wisely and save the MMO(excuse the word) "fodder" for a much later time. 2.0 is coming around the corner and he's going to need more hard hitting stuff to attract and keep gamers.

That doesn't mean that people cannot and should not request functions they would like to see eventually make it into the game. If that was the case, these forums would not be here. Nobody is saying "this content needs to be here now" - what we are saying is that we would like to see and would prefer it be sooner than later. So far, it seems SE has a timeline and vision that they are working towards - I trust if they have resources they deem fit to direct towards this they will.

I have never stated such things should not be asked for, I simply gave my opinion on how time consuming wait mechanics should not be added as content, prior to endgame. If a MMO consumes your time it should not be by standing and waiting or reaching a location and hoping, as a low level.

Achievement rewards and Holiday Events is how you add such "extras" into a MMO.
