I know it sounds ridiculous to some and despite the amounts of bullshit it often entails it's not something I'd want to see entirely eliminated.

Seeing Fafnir or other such things was just fun even if your group didn't claim. As a community I think it brings us closer to each other which isn't a bad thing. If it's not something you're doing all day every day, it's a fun experience. It's an option of how to play the game. Saying no to it is just asking them to make the game less varied really. I wouldn't want to see 3-4 hour windows again, but an unpredictable pop time should be an element.

i did fafnir too and i hated it.
was just doin it for some DKP.
it was basically doing RL stuff for 25 mins,
coming back to the PC,
buffing and waiting 5 mins for the time window,
and going afk again.
repeated until it actually pops what could be 3 hours.
i mean wtf?

seriously.
please let me point out one thing to you all.

EVERY HOUR THAT YOU SIT IN FRONT OF YOUR PC...
STARING ON THE SCREEN DOING NOTHING BUT WAITING...
IS ONE HOUR THAT YOU STEAL YOURSELF FROM YOUR LIFETIME...
AND YOU WON'T GET IT BACK. EVER.

think about it.
that's all.

Hmm really? I seem to recall manaburn limit pts with my LS in between Cerbs windows.. And doing Limit pts and FoV in between Ada's... And catching/killing Rapido while waiting on KV's weather... And farming bugs for gil and running ppl up the mountain in the Chasm in between Tia's (one hour windows btw...)... And tons of skill up pts in the Tree for Faf/Nidd between windows (only need a few ppl to hold...).. AND I COULD KEEP GOING... That's not even including all the real life things you could be doing in between windows (as I already said cooking dinner, washing clothes, TV!). It's your own fault you sat there twiddling your thumbs..

Think about it.
That's all.

Haha that's a bad thing to say though. Some people do nothing but watch TV all day - not because it's particularly entertaining but because they have nothing else they want to do. In MMOs no one can force you to show up to camp, so you likely have some incentive for going there. If you make that choice for yourself, then it can't really be wasting your life.

Some people would say playing any video game is taking time away from your life and that you should be doing something more reasonable with your time. I'd still camp stuff knowing fully well it's going to be a long wait, I may not even see it or that my team won't be the ones killing it. What I probably wouldn't do is join a LS where that's literally all we do and there this strict system of attendance with points. Not fun when there's that much pressure.
