Oh don't get me wrong I would prefer it to be less time consuming for sure. Just not to the point of less say FF13 and FF13-2. Not like old rpgs either where every step is a random encounter. More like say Tales of the Abyss type. I definitely don't want to wait for a 24hr pop HNM anymore and taking a long time to get to certain areas. For mmos I guess I'm not into the WoW style where it's fetch this and that, kill 10 of this and that, and gear become obsolete as soon as you hit the next area. Modern shouldn't mean being dumbed down to the point where everyone can go through it with ease.
