Thread: A 30 Sec time limit period for any change is MAX what it should be.. Let your words be heard here!
Two hours for stat migration is fine as long as we don't have to sit around with that session open for two hours! 
Honestly the five minutes doesn't bother me as long as it's for body changes. But 5 mins for an eye color change? Shouldn't that fit in with cosmetics?
I do agree with a master ID time shortening. What's the point of us having to wait? Not like we're grinding xp anymore so there's no reason to hinder business.

Actually, there is. As much as I hate the timers and it would help me personally to have them removed for masters…I'm against the idea. It would only further disadvantage up-and-coming IDs and make it that much harder to "play" the profession instead of "grinding" the profession.

#1 I was making a point and time wasnt the major part of that point. Problem is, when you use false information to prove a point your point becomes irrelevant and your innacurate information that was used to make someone else look stupid overwhelms your comments.
#2 even at 15 secs its only 90 secs total to do all 6 buffs That's exactly what I said ... yr point?
#3 get on a real server if its taking you that long I'm not the one complaining - you are - get a real server? What In the world does that have to do with anything?
I suggest if you feel the need to flame anyone with a differing opinion than you that you may need serious help - Not everyone in this world is going to agree with you all the time and by attacking them by saying " where did you get your information from" yr essentially calling them stupid - this sir is unacceptable and the only reason I felt the need to come back and correct you on this point. Respond civilly or I am done here as I'm sure I'll never convince you on my points and you will remain steadfast in the opinion that you are always right.
Good day and Good luck
This is one hell of a nerf for us.

I will NOT be limited by excessive time!
(Not that it matters. System's still borked big.)
its my first post here but i cannot let this one pass...
i'm not one of these silly grinder
i am ID 4002 for 2 weeks, and surrender some skills to finish my way to master... But its totally insane to wait 5min to change just the eye color. Yes we can change eye color in the tent (for less time), but why people come to tent? not to see people who are doing there apprenticeship, only to see master or to have what they want, so how can we practice ?????
Buying second account ? Find someone who has nothing to do except to click on accept every 3 minutes or 5 for stat migration ? (i must find a VERY good friend then ^ ^ ) do it on me and spend 3 year and doing only ID ?
And actually the ID cannot do there job each other.. have to wait each other, its silly too.
Now for us, for the people who like ID, pleaze sony do something :
short timer (like 2 min max) ? more xp with lvl (exemple with last hair cut, more xp than a simple one) ?
As you want but, pleaze do something

I disagree, Dawn. I don't think there should beANY timer for cosmetic or physical changes, but I think the 10 minute stat migration timer should remain, but for the customer ONLY.I see no reason why the ID should be penalized 10 minutes of their time to perform this function.
Further, I think the prior stat migration functionality should be put back in. The customer can either wait several days as was previously done, or see an ID to have it done right away.
The timer is just miserable. This morning somebody wanted a bunch of work done. I did it. After I was done, he asked me to change his eyebrows. Sigh. Another minute standing there waiting for the timer to run down. It's BORING.
I agree 100% with this. The timer just stinks. There's really no two ways about it. There's no reason for it, and it's complete overkill. I agree that the stat migration should take a while - maybe longer than 10 minutes - but the wait needs to be CLIENT END ONLY. Why the hell am I being punished and forced to sit there with an open UI for 10 minutes? It's lousy designing, and it needs to be changed. I am thrilled with everything in the publish EXCEPT this. It has to go.
I know they were concerned with how easy the grind was to ID, and making it more of a time sink, but they ALSO got rid of the /imagedesignSetValue command, making it impossible to macro this profession. Going through the UI to gain xp will be enough of a time sink for those mastering ID. Right now, no one is ever going to master it again. And it infuriates me. I have never felt as helpless and angry about a change as I do right now, and it MUSTBE CHANGED.
Get rid of the timer on body and cosmetic changes, and make the stat migration change client-end only. Stop punishing us.

I understand I'm in the minority because I don't think the timers should go away. I do think that Master times should be cut in half, but I understand the reason behind the timer. Personally I don't want someone to be able to master ID in an hour like it was before the publish. Now the obvious question is, why have master's with a timer since they're not grinding? The answer is quite simple, allowing masters to make instant changes absolutely screws over anyone who wants to get into the ID business. Because who is going to want to go to a novice ID looking for xp when they can go to a master and not have to wait?
As I mentioned to you in another post, about 50% of people would rather wait 5 mins than pay 50k. These are clients of the non-master. The other 50% would rather pay 50k than wait 5 mins. These are clients of the master. The master is the person who knows their trade completely. You pay for their expertise. IF you want to pay less, you go to someone who isn't a master. That is why your logic is flawed. Non-masters are not getting to get screwed because they should be charging less than masters. Simple.
