    My biggest problem with this system is a direct consequence of this problem. Since you have to wait at a specific spot for a long time, you'll often see a mob of people clustered together, which ruin any views you could have had, and defeat the purpose of the whole thing.

    And it also completely destroys any sense of "realism" and immersion. While I'm casually walking through the city and enjoying the sights by myself, and I suddenly come across 30 people fused together into an abomination on top of a lamp, doing absolutely nothing, it just ruins everything, and looks completely ridiculous.

    I have to wonder what the hell is SE doing? Why are they relying so much on RNG for such a menial task, and something that's supposed to be enjoyable? It ruins all the fun, the immersion...

    That's kinda of an issue that tends to work itself out over time. 2 weeks from now, I doubt you will stumble across a situation where 10 people are standing on a stump for these objectives.

    Since there really is no rush for completing these, I'd say to just wait out the surge for a bit to truly get the immersion from the trials.

    Always remember the Silver Rule:
    "Treat others as they treat you!" ...or something like that.

    I hope so, but seeing as it's RNG, and some people are not doing it right now, I think it'll be like for quite some time...
