Wasn't said in the JP version that there's a disclaimer about addiction and something about not forgetting loved ones while playing?

Wasn't also speculated the reason why we dont see total time played is that it may cause sadness that may lead to suicide in japan?

From what I gather; the OP simply doesn't want to risk becoming addicted to the game due to its mechanic.

In the end, for me, everything is optional. Its so easy to cap on tomes to upgrade gear. We don't need to do coil, atma, or beast men dailies. Compared to other mmo, many of these things are easy and are catared to casuals.
