    Maybe don't do the content and forget about the glam?

    Don't tell me you had made thread about not been able to Get ULTIMATE weapons too because only like a percentage do the content.
    You don't have to get everything and I'd that is your goal than you must do the content

    No, it's an extension of " I want every achievement in the game, whether I like the content or not, or (potentially)if it's even above my skill ceiling" under the guise of accessibility.

    if I framed the argument under "please hand me an Ultimate weapon, doing the content is frustrating/soul-destroying/exhausting" I would be told (rightfully) that I should invest the time into earning it, it's supposed to be that way.

    If a number of people point out that PVP rewards can be gained a number of ways, gradually over a reasonable timespan (months) , and over a comparably much lower time investment than let's say a Savage tier- we're accused of being "toxic".

You are actually incentivized more to lose quickly than to win in a heated match.
    To put this into context, assume 4 months, 30 days a month and you have 2 hours a day to play. That is a total of 240 hours in that period you have to play. Going worst case, 16 hours in total, that is just under 7% (6.666....%) of the total time you have, which, if you use that and work out how much time per day you need to commit, it works out to 8 minutes a day, which is a little over 1 match per day (as per your numbers). Though, I find, once you have queued and finish a match, if you queue again, the queue time is much shorter, meaning you can essentially wipe out the queue times for consecutive matches, results may vary by DC.

    So, 2 matches a day, or ~14 minutes a day, you will complete before the 4 months is over. That isn't much of a time investment when you actually break it down.

    The only reason people complain is the fact it is a limited time. I guarantee, if it wasn't a limited time thing and the items were available at a later date, noone would care.

    And 90-95% of the players don't care about how hard you worked for a personal achievement.

    There is literally zero skill ceiling to the battlepass rewards because you can obtain them all eventually losing every single match or playing casual in CC.

    This is my situation as well. I've essentially run out of things to buy via wolf marks / wolf collars.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    It sounds like you want midcore/hardcore content with casual/little effort. I would suggest moving on and obtaining different items/glams.

    I don't think that 15 hours in 4 months are too much. How many hours are you spending in dungeons, raids, trials in 4 months.
    I guess there are quite a few people who spend an hour or more in dungeons everyday who also say 5 minutes PvP a day is too much.

    The battle pass rewards are not a skill issue and it'd be disingenuous to believe it so. You can lose every single match and pretty much netflix and chill your way to the reward. The battle pass rewards are a time sink and nothing more. There is no skill involved only however much time SE or the community feels it's worth wasting X amount of time of your life to get. The skill is getting it done quicker and that's it. Time commitments are not a skill issue on their own. The top 100 rewards, however, are absolutely a skill issue.
