Who are you or I to criticize the way someone chooses to play FFXIV? If someone wants to be casual, let them. If someone wants to play seriously, let them.

I think the issue here is the opposite side of the spectrum (obvious who) tries to silence and constantly criticize the other side. I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree with you there.
So... because you're personally not intrested in mounts, minions or titles they're not a worthy goal for anyone to work towards? They cant be a reward - even if they're untradable and have to be earned through an achievment, clearing some difficult content (which could include crafting of some kind, kinda like the first mastercrafter-books we had, if you remember them) - because you dont consider them a worthy goal?

I understand that for some people reaching the gil-limit is a personal goal and all the power to them! All I'm saying is that for some people - or at the very least me - a lot of the (untradable) mounts and titles are much better rewards and goals to work towards than a mountain of useless coin.
Wether or not they're a worthy goal for you - and I'll admit that we could do with some mounts and minions that are locked behind crafting challengens or achievments - is another question. It is however a fact that there are plenty of mounts, all of the titles and some minions that are exclusive, aka that cant be traded on the marketboard. Thats simply not something you can disagree with without ignoring the facts...
