+1.
As someone who has some level of OCD in wanting to get _everything_ available, I had to accept the fact that not only won't happen, but doesn't need to happen. I started in 5.1 so there are already plenty of things that I missed out on, I'm sure that there are already plenty of things that you missed out on too.
The mindset that I have now is trying to keep up with temporary items first (i.e. Seasonal events), then try to work on things that are around all of the time, like that minion. As many people have mentioned, there is frontline if you would rather do that (I don't understand the hatred for CC though, it's fairly quick and in casual you don't typically have people that play very well so expectations are low).
You should really look into talking to somebody if it's affecting you this much though. The game isn't the problem.
OP if this game is such a burden for your MH then you need to remove ff14 from you real life and focus on your mental health.
Not liking PVP is not a good reason.
Guess what, there are other things in this game you can't get unless you do that content.
Hate Verminion? Too bad, you can't get the achievement minions.
Hate Baldesian Arsenal but want the shiny glam? Too bad!
Hate Ultimate and want those shiny weapons too? TOO BAD!
Hate chocobo breeding/racing but feel that NEED to collect all the bardings, which means you need to do the last challenge? TOO BAD!
I could go on and on.
It sucks you hate PVP and can't force yourself to do it, but the idea that it shouldn't have any meaningful rewards because you don't like it, when there are others that do, is absolutely self-centered.
With the state PvP is in (Lots of cheaters/hackers, 4 incredibly OP easy to pilot classes) the only reason you are in PvP is to get the cosmetic stuff. Otherwise it is not worth the anguish of dealing with WAR/WHM/SAM/DRG every match in CC, or over half of the teams being WAR/WHM/SAM/DRG/RDM/NIN/SMN/Whatever else in Frontlines.
