    Instance Wait Times Necessary?

    Just curious as to the reason for wait times on Instances such as Hamlet or Primal Fights. It seems like a complete waist of time when you try to do 4-5+ fights a night, resulting in over an hour spent just waiting on timers. I know you could use the time to craft or whatever, but I know I would definitely prefer to be able to chain runs rather than having a 15min wait after each run.

    They are there to prevent you from burning through the content too fast.
    Go to FF11, experience timers that take days, then come back and praise the current low timers.

    Yes but the timers that take days you aren't sitting around waiting for them to expire. You show up for the event and complete it without wasting time at the crystal for example.

    They're barely nothing (5-15 minutes), I know this is an era of MMORPGs where there's no restrictions on anything, but the timers generally serve the purpose of regulating how many people go in at a time.

    I have no opinion other than I do like a small cooldown so I can at least go to the bathroom without feeling like I am holding up my party

    A thousand times this. I think these cooldown timers perform a useful function in the game. Of the many things that I've done while waiting for the Ifrit cooldown timer to end: farm tapers, run back to repair my gear, grab sanction, food, whatever else that I might need, run a leve or two, craft, socialize with other party members, stand up and stretch my legs, check these forums, etc. It also ensures that my Benediction is always available for the next run.

    Of course, this doesn't stop parties from doing Ifrit >> Moogle >> Garuda >> Gridania ad nauseum. Then the cooldown timers mean nothing.

    I don't mind the cooldown but IMO it should probably be reduced to 5 minutes since it really hurts people with limited playtime during the week.
