Does anyone like this game's RNG / focus on luck?

If it is a definant thing that could take a 3 days to a month, and their plan is for it to last until next patch cycle, it would have to be far longer.

By a lot. The stated goal for the Zodiac weapons was that it was to take a while. So if oen were to hate the atma grind (the only real part that takes time thanks to Brayflox speedruns) one will have to come up with a way to make it longer but with clear progression.

Don't you think that making sure people have fun rather than making them feel like the game is equivalent to work is more important? I can't imagine why anyone would enjoy repeating the same thing for 100 hours. In real life companies pay people to do mindless repetition, not the other way around.

I'm all for long grinds or content, but it should keep people motivated and provide fun. Not spawn 20+ forum complaint posts, and bore people into leaving for a grind like ESO which is all questing.
