The dungeon timer is, I agree, a major hindrance. Â Especially if someone is trying to DM stuff while at the same time fighting.
The FFXIV official forums are, admittedly, a little daunting for me but if someone does have a petition to make the forum timer something that is either extended or possibly only active on a person's first run I would sign it in an instant.
Personally, I think the 'active on first run' would be easiest to implement. They already have the xp boost for first timers. Â Having the timer active on those runs only seems to make sense.
