Why the timer on challenges?

I can understand having a timer on the arena matches but why the need for timer on challenge missions? They are already limited by number of day, why make us wait to complete them?

    To annoy the player base.

    Most useless timer in the game.

    To force you to log in multiple times a day to complete them. There is likely some research showing that spending tied to number of log ins.

    Surprised they don't have a timer between GW battles.

    I think we need a timer on purchases and logging in, just for consistency

    Because it lets them brag on investor calls about how players spend 2 hrs a day in the game. Even if 1 hr of that is just waiting for **** timers to expire.

    OK, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks they are worthless addition to the game.

    This and allowing Sims on challenge would be great. Can only spend so much time in game, and if they keep adding content they should at least make the content we've done a 1000 times simable

    Unlike the above @Varlie

    The timer on challenges acts as nothing more than an invisible content wall. It helps to make it sem like there is more content in the game than there is.

    Alot of mobile games use this to make it seem larger. This also applies to why they won't let us Multi Sim or Sim challenges once done.

    I agree it needs to go and i hope your thread gets some attention.

    Yup remove the timer. Everyone that is playing this game is fully aware that it has minimal content. We don't need timers to "fool" us into thinking otherwise.

    Just posted on the poll in feedback. Basically, it prevents access to completing this in the time I have for lunch. Why prevent completion unless large consecutive time or multiple log ins are used? I simply don't finish them often even though I can auto them.

    This is actually a very good point! I was thinking the same.

    One of the dumbest 'features' of the game. Only arena should have a cooldown timer.

    Is 10 min between GW reasonable? ;)
    May the force be with you. It shall free you.

    Because while you are waiting for the timer to refresh they hope you will get bored and go take a peak at some of the other items they have for sale.

    EA "While you wait for your complimentary MK 1 Anthakam Medpac Salvage to be microwaved, can I interest you in this lovely set of stun cuffs. They can be yours for the low low price of everything in your crystal chest plus a $5 purchase".

    You: "I want that...."
