As far as standing around opening chests I have never and will never do that but not one person in this forum or in the game that I heard has ever said they actually enjoy doing that.
Whether other people enjoy it or not, if you do not, then your claims of enjoying the entire game are false. As for me, I enjoyed doing chests when I leveled Corsair (only job I leveled prior to 75 in abysssea)

I know I am in the minority in the aspect of actually enjoying the entire game
You're not in that minority because you do not enjoy the entire game.
