I wanna just say "Just wait and play it and see!" and I'm truly hopeful I'm wrong and this content turns out to be a lot of fun for a lot of people, but at the same time the writing is kinda on the wall in the same way that anyone could have seen the ishgard fates turning out like they did with world hopping available.

It's like SE saw people saying how much they'd prefer housing to just be a lottery instead of a timer, and figured "Okay, everyone must like lotteries! Lets make that the mechanic!!"
There might be multiple critical engagements happening at the same time. This would add more dynamism to the system so it's not always predictable or feeling left out.
