    Queue times and Nexus >SW upgrade

    Please consider either removing and/or changing Aurum Vale and Dzemael Darkhold as requirements for the item drops. The grind is already long enough, without having to sit in an "average" wait time queue of "30" minutes. Both of these take ridiculously long to get into, almost always over an hour depending on the times of day. My quickest wait time was 46 minutes.

    Nobody liked doing DD or AV in 2013, and nobody likes doing them now.

    Not everybody has a group of friends that stick to their specific schedule and can help them. Most people I play with are asleep when I am on. I shouldn't have to go pay someone 50-100k per run to tank for me just so I can do this to circumvent the ridiculous queue times.

    Please consider changing the items and dungeon drops for these two and putting them elsewhere, in a dungeon that doesn't take a lifetime to enter, or at the very least, put in some sort of time based system that increases the chance of getting a drop (like 5%, nothing drastic), completely dependent upon the amount of time it takes to get into one of these dungeons.

    This is not a post complaining about the Relic/Zodiac quest chain, and it isn't me complaining about the drop rates for the items. I've tried queueing for these two dungeons at multiple intervals throughout the day, and the wait times never change. 1+hrs PER WAIT, and then an additional 20-30 JUST TO CLEAR IT is crazy. Then take into consideration you get a bad healer, a bad tank, a bad dps, or just everyone is undergeared. Wipe, someone leaves, entire group leaves, for you to go sit for ANOTHER hour in the hopes someone comes along. I want to finish my Relic weapon. I don't want to sit on the game for 8+ hours when I get the time, and only be able to walk away with 4 or so dungeon clears and nothing to show for it day after day. It isn't fun, it isn't challenging. It's beyond tedious, boring, and a waste of time. I realize that eventually I will get my items from these, but it doesn't make it fair to those in the future trying to deal with this nonsense as well.

    Edit: I'd just like to point out that in the time it has taken to clear these places twice a piece, I have almost completely finished the other two quests and obtained all their drops from the corresponding dungeons. Title is supposed to be ZW for Zodiac, have no idea how I pressed S.

    Edit2: So after a total playtime of 21 hours in the last two days, I finally get my DD drop. A grand total of........ 9 Flawless runs. I had 2 that fell apart near the end. 9 runs in 21 hours, all 9 of them DD only. That doesn't include AV. That's sitting here, queuing immediately once the other ends, back to back, not missing a single pop. I'm going to now queue for AV and see how long it takes. I have 2 runs so far, for a combined total of 2h:45m
