Then anything that has you sitting around waiting to do something is arbitrary and does nothing for the game, which would be nearly everything that set FFXI apart from generic stuff out there. I don't play FFXI for instant gratification or I would have stopped a long time ago. Or other MMOs that would have you do something arbitrary like collecting certain items of great quantity for an item that that has no other benefit than aesthetic purposes.
