if you were a game designer you'd be spending a lot of time making more and more content if something that is designed to be done over time is done in one go.

The issue with that stemmed from the hoards who flooded the map to get on the kill which caused disconnects and those who refused to put their choco's away, so players lost out due to this.

Patience wasn't the issue. People camped The Loches for hours. On medium to larger servers, it was literally impossible to zone into the instance Ixion spawned because people had flooded it. There is no skill involved with getting the mount. You either camped the instance or waited until someone called it, and that person likely had a third party program running. So... why not make it easier, thus allowing people who haven't gotten it to try?

there was no way a third party application could of even monitored the weather pattern for that map, if that was the case then websites like ariyala and other hunt sites wouldnt have a problem with it either nor would they have a problem monitoring for odins spawn in the shroud. Yes the instance was camped but that is where patience actually came into it, people would get bored and want to do other things rather than sit there waiting for the weather to appear due to the long spawn windows. This is why instances were introduced to help players who were locked from progressing their storylines and why they'll still be there for the loches after maint is over.

I was hoping White Mage would get some changes to Plenary Indulgence in this little patch.

I'm not very thrilled with our new garbage Plenary. :c

I honestly don't get why the thought potency increases would be the band aid we really needed for smn.
Yes the pet clunkyness is going to need time, which honestly, this should have been priority one to deal with before SB even came around, as the issues only now with pets are bright as day thanks to Bahamut, yet have been mentioned for ages. Least they could do is have reverted some abilities or gave us back M2, or something to help alleviate death issues, but they seem so hellbent on simple 'potency increases'. <_<
