Thank you for finding that quote - it's enlightening!

Sadly, it wasn't the answer I was looking for. With that sort of mentality in mind, I just don't see myself having much fun in FFXIV in the future. The options before me are thus:

1. Grind miserable, unfun Fates for days
2. Grind the same old dungeons I've run dozens, if not hundreds, of times by now
3. Continue trying to beat Titan Ex and hope for a lucky group
4. Cancel and find a new game that will bring me more enjoyment

I went with option 4.
