First, why do we still have 10 minute waits? If someone can only be on 30 minutes a day, that's 3 whole dances. Totally going to get all the items! Kissing was tops 5 minutes this year, right? I think 5 minutes or less should be the wait. Not just to make sure that everyone can get all the items they would like, but to make sure that people who can't get on for longer periods of time throughout the event can have a shot at getting more dances.
Second, why are we still having to click dance again to see our wait time? Kissing this year it popped up with your kiss, and it should be the same with dancing.
I agree completely. I have to work to pay bills....and buy things on Subeta. ;) Therefore, I would love to see some shorter dance times. So I can get the chance to buy all of the beautiful things in the shops. I get so distracted having to wait for 10 minutes.

*Edited because I got distracted by Sweet Brown and didn't finish my thought. :x
THIS THIS.I seriously couldn't agree more.
HEAR HEAR, COULDN'T AGREE MORE! thanks for the ping!
I don't understand why the wait is so long either. 10 minutes is just too much _

I'd enjoy seeing the wait time on the "You have invited __ to dance!" page. c: That would be useful. And I do wish the wait times were at least a bit shorter. I don't even care for them to go down to five minutes or less, but even having six or seven minute wait times would make me happy. I seem to get eight minutes more often than any other, and by the time it's up I've usually gotten distracted and totally forget to continue dancing...
True. It doesn't HAVE to be 5 minutes, but maybe 6 or 7 tops. I have gotten 10 minutes in a row for the last 3 dances and I have totally gone WAY over 10 minutes to dance again because I plain forget. : /
I almost wish this was something they would consider adding an alert for, although I'm unsure if that would be realistic or just way too much effort for no real purpose. ^_^; Totally with you on that, though. I end up going way over my wait time because I get so distracted killing the time that I forget when it's up!
It's actually more annoying now with the invitation situation.. you wait 10 minutes and then there's no invitation to find in the ballroom.. then you find another 10 minutes wait time.. uggh. :( Random hates me!
I kinda wish that buff we got with kissing came around with dancing too! Something that lowers the time for a period of time.
SERIOUSLY. I haven't gotten an invite yet and I keep getting 10 minute wait times. I don't have much time to be online these days so shorter wait times would be much appreciated.
Well with kissing, at first we only got one heart, with dancing we get several trinkets. Also initially with kissing we only got hearts when we did the kissing whereas with dancing we always got trinkets for both dancing and getting danced with. Granted they gradually changed the kissing, but it was a lot more work to get hearts. It should be balanced though, I don't think the site intends you to be able to easily buy everything new in the shops, you should have to either put in extra time, or if you can't expect to buy trinkets or items from people who do put in the time.
I do agree, though, that it is a bit steep to only be able to dance 3 times in 1/2 hour.
I would also love to see the wait time on the first drop down instead of having to click again.

I was relatively lucky and I got two.. and then I didn't realise you were meant to refresh (an indication of a continuing conversation would have been nice).. so I assume I am back to square one and I've essentially wasted two invites -_-
(oh and to add to that.. now that I have more time - I am finding no more invites..)
I agree with the point made in the OP.
Also, a widget that has a timer on it would be a fantastic addition to the side bar.
I FINALLY got one just now. And I didnt know you needed to refresh so thank you for that heads up!
