I get they can get repetitious, but you make it sound so joyless and joblike.
To be fair when you're doing fights just for the random drop at the end, instead of for the love of the fight itself, everything goes that way. Even if you really love it.

I did the weekly lockout stuff during Midas because I was actively raiding. I actually liked the Midas tier fights... at first. That quickly sours when you're just in there to roll the dice, and your party wipes continuously to dumb things like A7's bombs, or letting the cat reach the boss, or basically anything in A8, etc. And we did Midas the first two or three weeks as a static too, but doing ~8 runs per floor sucks a ton of time away from, y'know, actually doing progression. So we stopped.

It really doesn't help my case that I only liked A11 and A12 from Creator, none of the fights in Deltascape, and novelty in O5 aside, none of the fights in Sigmascape either. Grinding on top of that would be devastating to whatever attachment I have with the game.
