Hence why I was only answering to his last point. Even though I don't agree with the other ones either much due the reasons already stated in the thread. The places are far because they are in big zones which are supposed to be big. Not every spot in the game has to be reached in a minute. If you see fate that has too little time left, look for another with longer time, since you already know the traveling will take time. It just means you were already late when you spotted it, same as if you'd arrived to closer one with 3 seconds left.
