4.5 month patch release is NOT a problem

Ah yes. "Burning 5 minute beast tribe quests "too fast". "

Yes, as if there isn't other content released in the patch that also takes 10-20 minutes. That builds up to where you can easily spend a few hours a day.

This argument really needs to die.

It won't. Because this "10 minutes here" and "20 minutes there" builds up to where you've then spent a few hours. And guess how long an average person has after work? Some of those people also have to juggle looking after children, maintaining their house and preparing food.

Naturally, the people who can spend all day for weeks will burn through it faster.

You would see people linking the latest relic step in Idyllshire first day back in Heavensward if it was something that wasn't limited (like a resource tied to a daily roulette) because they no-lifed so they could be first.

Absolutely this. I spent most of Heavensward very slowly completing the anima relic for a single job, because of the crystal sand step. Yet of course other people optimized and farmed all of the relics for all of the jobs and then complained of no content.

Only one I did farm really fast was the last steps. My eyes looked pretty red after farming ARF. Obviously not what they were intending you to do.
