Jumbo Cactpot needs to be more like real life lottery? Suggestion.

Well everything comes at a price to obtain them. It's all vanity, but it's also a goal item or objective to said player. Similar to obtaining gear from raids or whatever for progression (or bragging rights), you have to put in the time to obtain something that the devs feel is required (time and personal effort being the requirement). If they gave us all raid equipment in the game, it changes nothing in the same manner as giving us everything vanity. You'll have it, you'll be happy for a short while, and you won't find a reason to bother doing the content that would have been needed to get it (maybe just once to see it for some people).

Question is, how long you can kick your customers into the face with RNG and grind, until their feelings toward the game, even if they loved it before, are getting darker or change to frustrated. Since it is FF and Square, this MMO got a lot of bonus points and many parts of the game added some more. And then they waste those points for something pointless like that?

If people don't want to do specific content, you should make this content more fun, not try to force them to do it. Especially when they get no insight in the system behind it and begin to feel mocked. Most people don't play that much as your and some others do. Most FF14 players don't rush through the content. Making it harder for the 24/7 players just means, that it becomes annoying for the 4/5 and insane for the 2/3 players.
