I'm sorry but complaining about this quest isn't going to make this game better when this is exactly the type of content a lot people were asking for. Remember all those "I want xiv to be more like XI". SE is listening and trying to cater to everyone...don't like this part of the game do a different part.

This isn't a mandatory quest to stay current on gear, just an option.
This is not an option since your only weapon that gives usefull stats is that one, the others PLD weapons are useless.
