    At the risk of playing devil's advocate:

    Grinding out neat glamours or rare drops from dungeons is one of the few satisfactions this tier of content has to offer. Yes it's a pain to grind it when all you invariably need drops from a single coffer in a sea of accessories. But it's about the only thing keeping these dungeons relevant at this stage and given the gear is only truly useful for a very specific niche and is otherwise generally just glamor fodder. So be it.

    I'd much rather have a dungeon grind to keep me occupied than just buying it on the mogstation and being bored of it 30 minutes later because everyone else has it too.

    /shrug.

    If it "satisfies" you to finally have RNG give you what you want, great. But for me, the frustration of all the previous times outweighs the one moment of relief when it finally drops.

    I'm not looking to have my time filled up by a grind. If the thing I am currently doing is assembling a glamour, then I want to be able to acquire that item in a reasonable time frame, given that it is not a matter of skill and I have successfully cleared the dungeon.

    For that matter, the battles that are a matter of skill, like extreme trials and savage raids, do give you tokens.

    I want to be spending my time and getting my feeling of joy in this game from looking at my character in their fancy new outfit, not from going through the same easy motions fifty times first.
