I don't know what the idea of locking elite zones is, but it's keeping me away from the game. I'm talking about myself here, but I am sure many others feel the same as me.

Even if the map stays 24 hours, it can still be on a work day, or just a day that we're busy. So far we have seen that it takes minimum 5 days for the bar to fill, and this is while the expansion is still fresh. Once the majority hit level 71 and start running Raid zones, it will take probably a lot more than 5 days to open.
