Sorry in advance I did not read every comment so if someone said this already awesome.

A longer cooldown with greater drop rates would potentially be great for the "individual" player, but how about an LS as a whole. I know personally my LS does not have 8 person statics, sometimes when we are doing events we rotate players based pn jobs, drops, clear credit, etc. If group A clears and now has to wait 2 days, what happens to everyone else?

I'm sure this would work for a select portion of the community that always travels with the same people, but would alienate a large group that do rotational events or PUGs

I give SE credit, they are doing "The lesser of two evils.". We need to face the fact, regardless what they do, people will complain. What alarms me is that everyone assumes their opinion matters and we all want to hear it. Sadly that just isn't the case in the real world.

If you are unhappy doing something every 15 minutes, do something else.
