you still with the timesink? they don't have to be a big timesink you know. I don't understand you allow others to have something. I understand your a casual player not everyone like casual events. SE said they be adding casual and hardcore so matter if you like it or not it be in the game. Like i said before 100times this is not only your game others enjoy lottery spawn and 6hours NM pops just because you can't do them does not mean others can't or don't enjoy them.
By the look of it you on here 5+hours a day so you can't be a casual players if you use so much time talking here and posting on every topic that you dislike because it's not casual.
Top of that it does not have to be how FFXI did it remember this is FFXIV they can make it better then ffxi even the casual can do them without problem if they do it right.
Btw i made LL pop every 1hour and kill him 7times with was 7hours. For me that was fun the idea of a pop being up and you have to ran for it before anyone else see it. or when a nm pop you have to get it before anyone is the fun part of NM. Taking them down is boring not if there roc or serket which was pretty fun. The fun part of nm for me was campingi could sit there all day seeing tv and only have to look at my screen when the window is up. so at the end you can be doing other things and go back to it when the window opens.
I bet you did it wrong that why took for ever for LL to pop up. if you don't kill the right PH you pretty much never getting it. I only kill the PH and made LL pop every 1hour.
