Time-sink is ok for contents, yes spend hours and days for equips, dungeons, getting HQs, etc.

Why makes artificial time-sink for things that isnt even fun to begin with, stuff that people wants to get over it fast, don't people get the notes why people prefer to skip the rides to begin with? because maybe it's not fun?

It would be another case if boatride we have now is fun and has something on it.
