It's that time again! Which would you rather have: 20 hr timers or once a day like writs?

I've decided to do this poll regularly because last time I did it, it had around 85-90% preferring to have the current 20 hour timers for dungeons/mounts switch to daily like writs. That's an overwhelming majority. And I believe if the issue is brought up enough, there is a good chance we could get a nice QOL change here. With that in mind, please choose your preference and post you reason why if you wish.

I want mounts and daily randoms to function like writs where they can be done ANY timer during the set 24 hour period. For clarity, this means I would rather NOT have 20 hr timers

I would rather keep 20 hour timers just as they are.

    I voted I dont care.
    However, I would like to know exactly when timers reset so I dont get confused. Being in Oceania, I struggle remembering all the damn timezones and I get so confused when there's multiple timezone changes around the same time, America just had one, and now Im having one, so now Im all confused when things are happening again. I've also never been able to work out 100% when event tickets reset. :D
    I am demanding better customer service from Zenimax Studios.
    I am demanding better and more open communication between the devs & the playerbase.

    For me the main issue is keeping track of which character has done what. It's a real pain since I can't do all random dungeons/battlegrounds on all characters at the same time.

    For other people, it's a matter of shift work simply not allowing a 20hr timer. They need the flexibility.

    This is true especially for people who can’t have addons, like me who use Stadia 😅

    If you can do them any time in a 24 hour period, that is very flexible. It's really only a matter of if the reset conflicts with you time to log in and do it.

    I'd love to see a global reset for everything that currently has a separat timer. That would be a huge play-when-you-want improvement.

    One day I get to log into the game in the late afternoone,next day I can log in straght in the morning but I wont be able to train the mount on my new alts...and as I won't be able to log in that day again I just miss a day of mount training.
    Everything should reset at the same time,no one can keep track on what resets when.

    It is also an issue for those without an addon to track Trial weekly coffers.

    The reason why I like the structure of 20hrs timers - if I could do it at any time of the day, I might just waste all the playing time available on doing writs. So when I log in and it will be another 4 hours until I can do writs, I start playing instead to craft - and will never get to craft anything on that day, because I rarely play longer than 4 hours at a time. Most often it is just 2hrs and if I have to craft, all or most of the time will be wasted on that instead to play - so better it stays as it is.

    This said, I cut back on doing writs - it took too much of my time - I craft now at most with 4 characters at a time - and don't start crafting again until the last one, who crafted, could do that as well. This way I spend more time on actually playing the game. I actually do not really know, why I do it at all, I do not really need the gold, there is not much to spend it on.

    *shrug* It doesn't matter to me - I log in every day by 7 am, and play about the same number of hours. I'm flexible, so whatever.

    There's Pro's and Cons for both tbh. Why not have it be both if possible?
