Hey there. I'm gonna jump right into the core for posting this.
I'm a bit frustrated that I can't sync my new changes after my last backup. I did the Jeuno alliance raid, got my gear for the week and logged out. I synced the data assuming I didn't need to do so again for today. But I forgot to get cactpot tickets and logged back in.
Meanwhile, I have my new steam deck transferring data from the old one. While doing so, I started to work on some glamours in the barracks dresser. So I made some additional changes and basically when done wanted to back up the new data. Was it not for me remembering I already did so for the day.
Now I know I'm somewhat of an edge case in regards that I have multiple 'PC' systems with the game installed. Where I am the only active user of the game. I already apply a rule of thumb because of the current backup system that I only set up and upload from my main system. When on a system in a different location, I will download the backup to keep my settings somewhat in sync.
As I'm used to saving after every log out in FFXI (when I do play), I can understand the worry of too many of these sync requests from a game with a way larger community. Limits are understandable. But the 23 hour time limit feels a bit unreasonable. I doubt there will be many people who query backup synchronizations multiple times a day for one character, but wouldn't a 3 hour time limit be more reasonable? That would be 5 per day tops for very active users where most would have trouble to even submit 3.
Can this reduction be considered? This would ease up accessibility for players who can play from different locations and systems.
