I guess im not bothered about whether airships and ferrys take time to reach a destination, since i also use the chance to afk. If you're going in a group though its kinda fun to mess around somewhere like that. Generally though, i must say its quite odd to pop a gamer in an area for 10 mins with absolutley nothing to do but wait.

I think they should open up cabins for people who wish to wait afk, and have open events on the deck such as monster assaults, rare NMs, npcs, giant sea monsters splashing about in the ocean during a storm lol. i dont know, just something. I'm okay with it if things stay the way they are now i guess, i take any chance i can get to go make a drink or have snack.
