Me grinding for stuff to get a rare vanity item is like a raider grinding coil to get a weapon or piece of armor. They are taking away game content and cash-gating it for people who are not solely raiders. I play this game for non exclusively progression based reasons. Like 85% of this game's content is vanity. Almost all gear is vanity. Housing anything is pretty much vanity. Chocobo color changes, a lot of gardening.... So much of this game is stuff that it isn't essential for you to have progress.
