Why make the ship building time so long?

[none0000]

Activities and Games to play with your guild while waiting for your first boat:

Finish up rep
Get epics from heroic instances
Cause the other faction's current generation of Asee Teph rep raiders to ragequit
Take up a craft
Make an alt account, insult yourself for picking an overdone craft.
Take up knitting in real life
Realize knitting takes more math skills than operating a 150-man raiding guild, ragequit.

Now... is that ragequitting knitting, your alt, crafting, or the game?

I wonder if level 40's realise that the more low levels they gank 'till they /ragequit, means the less pvp they will end up getting at 40, since everyone quit at lvl 23.

Tards -.-

30 days? What a Pathetic attempt to realism.

The obvious reason (and the most probable one) is so that the devs can have more time to work on the game and iron out the bugs and glitches found in the Astral.

But another theory i thought of is that it allows other people in a guild reach level 40 if the guild master or some other guy in the guild rushes to level 38 to buy a ship. My guild has a person who is rushing to level 38 (and he already has the 1500 gold from buying item shop items and selling them) to buy a ship, and the level 10
s and 20's and 30's who are taking their time might feel left out when he has a ship just waiting there and he's going to the astral with a few friends and they are just to low level to even attempt going on a ship, so it gives them a chance to catch up to level 40 and by the time the ship is complete they might reach level 40.

Imagine the game down the road, when guilds already have fleets.

You're a new player, and you level up to 40. You have a whole company of guildies with ships, and you are invited along on astral raids in between doing your ship building dailies. Over the course of a month you learn the various roles for flying a ship, and by the time yours is built, you are ready to captain it.

That's my theory on how it is supposed to work. The reason the wait seems painful at this point is because so few people have ships. In the future, provided people don't get comfortable with the same five people crewing their ship and refuse to take on astral newbies, you'd have a breaking in period.

It's a theory, anyway....

The more you play the more money they make. Or you can just give them your money (cash shop ship runes) and be in the astral. Why they don't have this item in the cash shop boggles my tiny brain, there are so many ships in que right now.

This is how it was in Soviet Russia. People had to wait 30 years to get their car.

In soviet Russia, the ship waits for you!
