I have to wonder about some people.
This is a game. It should be fun to play. Spending ten minutes waiting for something is not and never has been fun.
Now don't get me wrong, I have always been one to stop and smell the roses. I have no problem spending a lot of time just enjoying the environment we have to explore on each of the planets.
When I take a combat mission, I am always the one walking or (at most) riding a pet mount rather than a swoop (or any of the other vehicles).
Ionly take a shuttle from one place on a planet to another if I am going all the way across the map or if I'min a hurry for some reason. The rest of the time, I walk or ride. I only ride my swoop if it's over 3k away. I only ride a pet mount if it's over 1k away.
What I do not do is to spend a lot of time on things that are not fun.
I cheered when the shuttle wait times were cut in half. I am cheering again about image designer timers being reduced.
I go without buffs 90% of the time because standing in line waiting for a buff is not fun.
I would like to point out to the people who are upset that the stat migration timer is being reduced that people stand in line to get them. Standing in line alone can take half an hour or more if the people ahead of you are getting stat migrations. I have seen lines six or seven deep all waiting to see an image designer. Often times, most, if not all, want stat migrations.
Doing stat migrations is not fun. Standing in line waiting for a stat migration is not fun.
The person who has the least amount of fun from stat migrations is the image designer who is doing them.
There is no logical reason to want stat migrations to have to take ten minutes.
Reduce the timers? I say a definate yes! Make the time we spend in the game more fun!

Making the game more fun for everyone was exactly the very reason why the timers got reduced. Some may (and will) ask, why they were not taken out totally. The reason for that is, that the timers are necessary, to ensure, that getting Master ID is not something trivial, done within a few hours or so. Like it was before this change. So the setting we face now are a balance between 'fun for everyone' and the necessity of give the Master title some weight. I can imagine, that many other professions will see changes leading to a similar situation as well... but that is just speculation at this time...

For people whose business is slow, perhaps they are unhappy that they will be making less money per migration. But in general this is a very positive change - quicker xp, and less frustrated ID's and customers.

Yep, that's how I see it, too... of course there are still those rare customers, that you don't WANT to come back, but those are really the exception, not the rule

Exactly. A happy customer is a customer who will come back

I'm very very happy with the timers reduced. I now have the pateince to finaly master this profession (been ID since xmas lol it's about time too). So far everyone has been very happy with the new change, both ID and customers I've met in game. It actually ran storm at US peek time (I'm on Europe) and people started outbidding me to please stay online lol (was 1am).
They're also happy that the majority of the ID no longer ask high prices for the stat migration due to the timer being reduced. The only reason I think an ID could cmplain, because he/she's losing money over it. *shrug*

I'm so chomping at the bit to try this out. It's been raining here, though, and my commute is so awful and long in the rain that I come home and can't even face swg.
