In both of those situations, the issue were that the timers were too short (AF was originally 10s). In both cases, issues were addressed on the .05 patch. I'd honestly brace myself to endure this for a couple of months.
I wasn't around yet for the initial Stormblood "point-oh" release but good to know they'll listen to player complaints EVENTUALLY, IN THEORY
So, IN THEORY I might reconsider resubscribing, but for now, this just feels too gross. These concerns were raised as far in advance as the devs made the new builds accessible and largely dismissed with an "eh, you'll get used to it", it's not like they didn't know how most BLM-enjoyers were going to feel about this ahead of time, and The Canonical Tale of 1.0 ---> ARR notwithstanding, this seems to be a trap this company walks itself into over and over again when it becomes successful enough, and will continue to. And it's a shame, but for me, there's really only one way to respond to that (esp. since i don't even find the new story worth seeing through)

( Incidentally, if you've been around since HW, props for not turning into one of those jaded people who reacts to complaints like those in this thread with "first time? lmao" )
