Stop excusing crappy design.

No. The point of playing games is to have fun.
Lots of problems with your "fun" argument. Here's an extreme example, but isn't exactly farfetched for some people on these forums with some aspects of the game. If I paid for XIV to simply get the best gear for each job, but hate everything about combat/crafting/gathering and the fact I have to group with others to do it, is a sound argument for me to say that the game has a crappy design? It's un-fun to me to have to do anything at all that this game is centered around to get access to what I find "fun". I'd rather my character simply solve puzzles or be given fun games to play (like Tetris) to get the best gear.

The "un-fun" argument terrible and is taken way too literally. There will always be parts of anything fun that someone will find to not be an enjoyable part of the process.
