What people dont seem to grasp is the world doesnt revolve around you, the longer it takes to gather, u will stretch a group FATE further for your own little idealism, remember dynamis or einherjar? Where you need to take airships and bboats? Then starting ttime would be 1hr llater than the scheduled time?

The slower people gather, the longer the fight will take. This will strech even further in a nonprimetime hour and will ended up with ppl ggiving up waiting for ppl to gather. Im ssorry but archaic system of FFXI just doesnt work anymore.
