I'm not, I'm just saying I can see how it's annoying. I mean, it's something that Square themselves admit to being something they intend on eliminating.
All I mean to say is that it is a bit of an imperfect system and it can be improved upon. I don't have a big problem with spending 20 seconds on a battle here and there, but some people might, and really I can't blame them. After all, games really aren't meant to be chores. Annoying factors should be something the designers strive to eliminate.
I am hardly saying that random encounters make or break a game. I'm just saying that eliminating them will always make for a better game, even if only by a small margin.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
