Some people do it as a sprint, some treat it as a marathon. I'm more on the marathon side, so a new EX is usually a 4-6weeks content for me until I can say "I'm done with it". I think I will be speaking on behalf of a lot of people when I say no, this does not need to be any more grindy.

- Samething with the 24men raid. I'm a glamwhore, it will usually take me 2-3 months, running 2-3 times a week to get all of I want. Again, I think I will be speaking on behalf of a lot of people when I say no, this does not need to be any more grindy.
No offense, but you speak on behalf of a tiny segment of the playerbase.

Most gamers actually want to play video games, not just collect mounts or glamours. Good for you if you're satisfied with grinding EX 100 times, but for the vast majority of players, that is mindnumbingly dull, regardless of the reward behind it. 24-man raids are even duller. Both you and Xeno are focusing on the rewards that the content give you when most of the dissatisfaction people are feeling now is with the actual content. You are satisfied with the rewards, he is not, but neither of you are tackling the fundamental issue that the gameplay in FF14 is now extremely stale.

The carrots only work on a small minority of players - minority because data shows that this game has an insanely high churn rate - more than 20% every single patch.
