why you guys feeding the troll anyways, this is the same thread 10 million people have made b4, cry cry its to hard, let me have my stuff for free.
I don't like something stamp my feet have a tantrum.

Why do people bother with these threads, just leave the game. It really simple.
The designers aren't going to be like, AMG this one guy complained, lets change the whole game for him!

Perhaps its a good thing you don't like this game, you can spend some time out of game maturing.

as to your points.
1) you just don't like the rewards, not that there isn't any. And no ones stopping you from playing HM.
2) Chocobos aren't meant to replace people.
3) you have to do something you don't want to to get what you want, welcome to life.
4)You want thing even easier than they are now, so you don't have to be in a group with other people, why are you playing an MMO. A lot of people want the game more difficult not less. This is purely your biased opinion.
