if you dont slow down the pace, people are quickly burned up and leave the game again ... if you have to pay 7+ million to scout a province, not many will be able to get that amount of cash in lets say a day's time.
So the scouting costs keep the game slow, and the scouting time can be reduced as people are requesting. 3+ days with nothing to do is also a good way to make people leave the game. Everyone I know who's left the game left because there was nothing to do and they were bored, not because it was all whizzing along so fast they got dizzy and burnt out.
Also, I don't know why you keep referring to "a day's time". If asked, I'd say 48 hours should be the maximum scouting time, and I didn't complain when that's the time my scout was taking.
I'd think that the long scouting times are mostly problemmatic for players who don't buy expansions.
That's probably true, and I can only speak for myself, but: I have all the expansions that can fit in the available space, and the long scouting times are problematic for me. The tournaments help some for the boredom, but I have so few neighbours that reaching the next ones I can see on the horizon is of major importance.
