Ok...let me level with you here SE...

While I understand your viewpoint more now, and sympathize with it to an extent, you are playing the wrong game if you boil everything down to your worth in manhours and use that to judge whether to participate in an event (especially because not everything has a market alternative). I hesitate to use the hackneyed phrase "don't hate the playa, hate the game," but I can't think of anything more appropriate. Most of the game is a grind. I could have made reams of gil farming when I was spamming Akvan for Heka Kalasiris, but I went ahead and did the event because I wanted the gear, not the gil. Most people who play this game do not weigh their choice of activities based on individual manhours to gil ratio.

As for fun, hell most people in my shell last night had fun when they chose the right clone and we killed ADL. They enjoyed the change of pace from endless Logwatch.

I only still play the game because I have fun. I simply do not enjoy ADL, and frankly neither will your linkshell after a while if you have more than a couple relics. There is no reason for me or anyone else to throw away millions of gil on an event that they do not find fun.

Perhaps (updated my last post btw with "fun" elements). We throw away millions of gil for our "manhours" on Voidwatch though when we are through having fun killing Pil/Akvan, etc. It's all subjective in the end and the nature of SE's game.

Abyssea had nothing to do with wising up. People knew the worth of their time long before that mess. Why is that such a quick fallback for everyone these days? It's dumb, and only attempts to convolute the issue.

Voidwatch is a poor example because the items people are trying to obtain do not have a static gil value. Rather, they have an infinitely high value. People will either pay in whatever amount it takes to obtain a body, or they won't. It's not the least bit subjective.
