Hello.

I direct this message to the dev team, thanks if the community reps could forward it.

Today happened once again that (most likely) last minute deliveries at Hamlet Defense had my last days of gathering & crafting supplies gone to waste.
This was the situation tonight at 02.00 AM (GMT +2), where I was at spot 7 with 250.000 points, usually enough to be in the Top20:






This is the surprise I found out now:





Since I couldn't stay up until 05.00 AM only to be sure I would have still been in the Top 20 the next day (sorry if the devs thought one had to do this to have the efforts rewarded ), my previous days went to waste. And I say days because I don't stay much in Eorzea and even more for this reason, if I put commitment into something, I would like my efforts to be rewarded and not giving a sense of frustration for time gone to waste.

I can get 300.000 points for tomorrow, OK, but this doesn't really solve anything, if someone deliver 300.001 the last minute.

Also, as we all know, being in the Top1 or Top20 spot doesn't seem to influence what you get in the end, which really makes me ask why creating a system like this.

I don't know if other adventurers like this random stuff, but like the speed runs/AoE feast pointless design, I think there's something not right in here.
I spoke about a similar matter in the past, now fixed:

- Earn what you get => Reward for your Efforts


Couldn't we have something like threesholds? Like, if I work hard for several days to gather 300.000 points, there's a 300.000 threeshold in the Top20 and I'm guaranteed my spot is not taken by someone delivering the last minute. Just look at this picture of some days ago, everyone there to be sure their spot is not taken (me too! ...and it didn't serve anyway. ):



Can we have an improvement to this not rewarding system before 2.0, please? So that, once again, if an adventurer has little time to stay in Eorzea but works hard for many days to get the necessary points to be in the Top20, he or she is sure to not be kicked out of it in the last minute?

Thanks if you could take this into consideration before 2.0.
