You mean the goal of completing the most interesting storyline in the game, which the dev team spent millions of dollars making amazing and exclusive cutscenes for, before 3.0? Don't people usually play Final Fantasy games for the story? That seems like a pretty huge motivating factor to me.

Also, 'generic' gear that, according to the census, only 2-5% of the NA/EU population is wearing? If that gear is generic, what does it make the stuff you wear that literally every level 50 character has easy access to? Are you only calling it generic to delegitimize it because you don't have it and don't want others to feel special for having it? (And BiS is worth a lot more than 1%- I'm not sure why this common logical fallacy still persists to this day. Do you even numbers bro?)

The bottom line is, if it really is just a matter of you not having or wanting to spend the time acquiring it, that's fine and understandable, no one can hold that against you and you could leave it at that. But you're attacking it and the achievement others feel by obtaining it. What's the point of that?
