It is the mandatory wait time to get on with my game imposed by cut scene missions. Energy wait time is a choice based on how much we want. Three hours for literally nothing makes no sense other than blatently milking us for plat. I have no problem with waiting for energy as I may choose to either play in the pvp arwna or one of you other fun mini games like star legens or that other cute one with the animals. I am a bit dissapointed by this implentation in an otherwise very fun game.
