Eventual nerfs to grinds are expected, no one is denying that, but any reasonable player would not expect them to nerf the middle of a current grind before those who put in more effort had the chance to reap the benefits of their hard work. Doing so would seriously undermine and discount the time and energy those early grinders put in. I can't recall a single time Square Enix has nerfed the grind of current and still relevant content in this game. For those claiming that nerfs are always expected and that a buff to favor yields was a complete possibility in 3.07 and that it wouldn't have been unfair, can you name a time when they nerfed the grind for still relevant content? The only thing that I can think of that even comes close is the ironworks fishing rod but then again I guess the fishermen in this game are already used to being treated unfairly =/
