When idling waiting for a NM in 1.0 it was never long at all...and during the downtime I'd chat with my friends in my party...imagine that, being social!

It never took more then 10 mins for most of them lol I dont really see the problem.

Fates on the other hand encourage spamming your strongest skill over and over...so much fun heh it sounds good on paper but in reality its not that great and doesnt come close to replacing NM...just my opinion.
