There’s a reason why FFXIV is the fourth most-played MMO right now despite being a clone and spiritual successor to two out of the other three. But FFXIV players are so above the concept of “fun”, right? Just give players an obscure cheevo from 2015, slap some numbers on that bad boy and they're all happy, right?

Is watching paint dry a form of content too?
I don't know but if people are willing to eat up that farming an umpteenth number of FATEs either for past relics or for Eureka-esque relics as 'content' and fun, then yes the exact same can be applied to achievements provided they offer a reward that the person deems worth working toward.

Hurray, got a relic just in time for 7.0 before it gets routinely plunged into irrelevancy by Level 95 to most likely never be used again.

Or is the cookie just not tasty enough for you?
