Weekly Lockout on normal Raids necessary?

[Banggugyangu]

So? Didn't Yoshi-P himself say that we should take breaks and play other games? The vast majority of people won't grind things out instantly and I see no reason to stop the very small minority that would.

From the "taking a break" standpoint, what difference is there in raid logging, getting your weekly drops in a couple hours, then "taking a break" and playing something else until tuesday? From a game longevity and game health perspective, there's a HUGE difference, but from the "taking a break" perspective, there's functionally no difference, except that perhaps the individual doing that would be less likely to burn out.
