Who is yall? And who is asking for a grind. Which if you have ever done a relic quest in this game, it has grinds.
I am talking about cut content being replaced with what you are referring to as a carrot on a stick content. And I think many can agree FF needed the pruning it got as classes were already starting to get skill bloat in HW.

Bozja, Zadnor, Eureka, and those island things in HW are all throw away content. Bozja and Zadnor are only used right now for XP grind which likely will get nerfed or become dead again once people get the classes they want to 90.
