[MeeDeggiThePunisher]

People: SE we need something more difficult for relic/zenith/zodiac. Its just too easy to get which lessens the since of accomplishment.

SE: Ok.take this..*releases 2.2*

People: OMFG SE what are you doing this is ridiculous why is it so hard???!!?

or difficult for that matter. people are missing the point. This is supposed to be the easy part of the quest.

aside from that, people wanted reasons to be out in the world. No one had a problem with this in FFXI when people killed lizards in the dunes for hours on end. Same principal really except you weren't looking for a reward, you wer ONLY leveling up at that point.

A lot of noise was made to have something like this. It was given, only they're adding it in their own way tedious content that you're not required to do. Have fun!

When it's something people
A. Played as children/teens
B. played for the first time on an old system(s)
C. Took a year or longer to do.
D. Olddddddddddddddddddd

No matter how it's done people will make noise. I honestly believe this "challenge" was born due to all of the resentment for 2.1. Each thread clamoring for open world stuff, clamoring for a return to something similar to fates.. And yes clamoring for lower guarantee's for a drop. OCD is quite rampant today, it's entirely optional bu- oh wait I forgot after you patch the game someone puts a gun to your head and makes you do this first thing.

I digress I am all for a lot of what people wanted an though this is not exact it does mimic the thrill of trying to achieve something. Grinds are a grind end of story. They are never fun, they are always tedious..ALWAYS.

I don't think the guys fishing for Lu shangs/trying to defeat Maat on all jobs (for a cap!)/getting every achievement in 360's FFXI were sitting there grinning ear to ear whilst doing. People need to get over it.

no

to people who grew up playing Korean MMOs with insultingly obnoxious F2P grind mechanics, "Hours of Wasted Life" is the determining factor in everything.
