SE why??

Took me about 2-3 weeks to get all my Atma. Then another 2-3 weeks farming myth and completing books. Frustrating? Yes. Was it worth it? To me, yes. I can proudly wield my glowy bow knowing I put the effort into it.

You know I came back after a little break and I think the most irritating thing with the myth farm is just composition. Hey I'm a monk, my options are get Myth slower or level another class. I can't really blame people for not wanting 2 to 4 minutes added on to their run from bringing a non BLM/BRD/SMN.

I think honestly there is a really good point about AOE damage and dungeon design wrapped up in this myth farm that EVERYONE is missing. There is a fundamental error in design here that really makes this frustrating for a few classes. You had the same thing happening in WoW when content wasn't made challenging enough. People simply did it as fast as possible, classes that could not contribute to that speed were left in the dust.

THIS RIGHT HERE.

The grind is annoying, but it makes the end so much sweeter. This was the issue with a lot of MMO's "rewards" vs "back in the day".... the rewards didn't mean anything. This is speaking from a guy who still needs to do 4 more books.

Skill has nothing to do with drop rate.

No, but determination does. Having the will to slog through the grind takes determination and from some of the complaining it seems a lot of people don't have that. However there are alternatives so.
