Mindlessly farming gil for X hours for whatever goal (house, gear, etc) is not challenging, merely time consuming. Please don't pretend it to be otherwise.
Dumb people farm mindlessly, but at least it means that they are not a lazy person who just here looking for free hand-out. On the other hand, you could be smart and learn how to play with the market. In that case, it is actually quite fun to make money. If you don't want to be smart, and you want to be lazy then don't complain.
