Too much time spent managing the game

[Ultrazen]

I feel like I spend the majority of my time managing this game, instead of playing it. Chaos dungeons.....if you're going to time gate/limit me on how many runs I can do a day, make the runs longer than 5 minutes? Islands, stronghold, time gates.....The bulk of my time is spent talking to NPCs or travelling somewhere.

The entire game suffers from this, the leveling experience is literally at least 50% travel time. Ride 5 minutes, kill 3 mobs, port back. The "gameplay" mostly consists of riding your mount with the map overlay up.

The set pieces are amazing in this game, and the moment to moment combat is fun enough, but for me, there is just way too much time spent in management mode.
