ARR and Dungeons/Istances timers.

[Abriael]

you can remove time limits but most people will still try to clear content as fast as possible to re-enter and do again. Not sure how they are gonna handle re enter timers so ill reference 1.0. If i clear a dungeon in 15 mins with a 15 min re enter that's 2 runs an hour so its much higher chances of loot when you maximize time. If they put long re-enter timers on things then maximizing time prob wouldn't happen so much unless there was enough content in game were you are going from a dungeon to b dungeon to c primal and trying to fit it all in a 3 hour time frame or w/e.

It's a matter of fact that a time limit encourages people to do whatever they can to spend as little time as possible doing anything else than the essential a lot more than the simple will to redo the content.

Watching cutscenes, fighting trash mobs, exploration, bringing a less than cookie cutter party setup all eat into the little room for error you have when you have a time limit. If you don't have a time limit, some may groan a little, but most will not mind too much if you wanna sit and watch a cutscene, or if you want to bring a class that isn't the veeery best at doing damage, or if your son needs his diaper changed.

Ultimately, every bit of my experience in MMORPGs shows me that time limit encourage people to be di*ks to those they play with, while there's a lot more friendly and relaxed atmosphere even between strangers in dungeons that don't have time limits. And that's the atmosphere a Final Fantasy MMORPG should have.
