Because it was so much fun in WoW to grind out limited dailies for months so that you could get that one item you needed, only to walk into the raid you now have the ilvl for and replace it on the first boss.
I am against rep grinds for gear. I love the idea behind XIV's daily rewards, its all vanity. Mounts, Pets, Dyes and materials. I don't need any of it, So I'm not doing them, except as some easy XP when leveling a new job. Unlike other games that force you to grind rep dailies for endgame gear.
