    Castrum 40', and Pretorium 53'. Given the average 20' for any duty on DF, 2x and 3x rewards are what they need to be considered "on par".

    Ho yes you speed run duties in 15' but we are talking of DF, aka PUGGIN'. Sometime you get 15', and some other you run out of the 60' timer unless you ragequitted first...

    You're omitting a key factor: activity. If I run Doma Castle three times, I've actively participating. Pretorium? I'm tabbed out of the game watching Youtube. That alone will drive people away even if they do make the rewards "on par."

    And only once have I ever had a dungeon exceed thirty minutes.

    Yes thats another problem. People will have to use most of the time in the dungeon watching the CS again and again instead of using it for battle. On top of that there is no loot in there. Even if they give us a reward that would be good for that time we are still missing all the other reward that someone could get from other dungeons. You could run Ala Mhigo in that time at least twice, get recent tomestone, loot for gearing up other jobs or to exchange it and also the chance for a mount. Honestly these two dungeons would need to be at least on that level before I consider that a good reward for having to watch stuff most of the time instead of fighting through it.

    I really hope that people that are fine with this changes are also the one that will run them a lot from now on.

    Also knowing more than the devs: They are humans and like any human they will make mistakes. Jobs still have quite the balance problems, the housing situation is a huge problem which they cant solve. Diadem and its second version are nothing but death content right now, and LoV was death on arrival. I dont need to taste a burned meal or be a cook to say that it will taste horrible.

    About JP players: Can we stop making them out to be better humans..yes they look at some things different then us but they also do lots of things that are not great either. They go around and follow people onto other servers to talk bad about them if that person did something bad. Even if they change name and server they will follow to make sure that everyone know they are bad. This is stalking..there are also players that make some very sexy poses and screenshots and then make it look like this is truly possible in this game thus giving it a bad press. This was the reason why we wont get certain emotes. They have a black list outside the game that everyone can see. So yes we might be a little unforgiving with CS (and not everyone is like that, exactly how not every JP is like that too) but they are no saints and we get some changes only thanks to their behavior.

    Also even if SE is a japanese company, the majority of their players are from NA and EU. The last statistic showed that NA alone had more active players than JP. I do think its time that they see their game as an international one and that you should take different mentalities into consideration.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
