Played well over 5 years ago, been awhile.

I still see what ya are saying, but in this game I do not think 24 hour window is the way to go. Reason being thus far, world NM spawns all drop crafted items used to make the gear. If it was a gear drop in itself, I would agree with long spawn times and even a lower drop rate. However a lot of items now if they are made from NM drops require more than one NM drop. Not saying we need 1 hour respawns, god forbid they make it any easier, but if its a craft drop this early in the game then I believe for a majority of people a medium time spawn, 8-12 hours(at most), with a window time that is one hour, maybe two would fit most in place with this games current direction. FFXI spawn times are decreasing to and 24 hour spawns are no longer going to be around, there is no point in adding it to FFXIV. Wanting 24 hour spawns is a fine thing, just do not expect it. We are still early on in the game, do not expect everything to be long and hard at this point, be patient and that will come at the later ranks.
