The duration of many spells is supposed to last across many encounters (water breathing, dark vision, death ward, higher-slot hex). With a 24-hour short rest, these spells only last for one or two encounters, not 6 to 8.Druids can no longer spend an entire rest in beast form.The resting and healing spells also get messed by 7 day long rests. No more casting goodberry before going to sleep. No sleeping in leomund's tiny hut or mordenkainen's magnificent mansion. No point in casting alarm, mordenkainen's faithful hound, or nondetection to protect you while you rest (especially the last two, which are not rituals). The logistics of buying and carrying rations also becomes a problem. A 7 day long rest requires 14lb of food and 58 pounds of water, per person! After all, you won't be foraging for food - you can't do activities like that during a rest (otherwise it is not restful). Who is carrying all of that? I guess it encourages PCs to buy pack animals but now you have to feed and water those animals, and protect them.</blockquote>
