I had to spend almost 400K on gear to just get to the minimum iLvl to even have a chance at success on those and I'm still failing. It doesn't help that min iLvl is 626 or some b*llsh*t like that. And I know that to some people 400K might not sound like a lot, but I only have 300K left to my name at this point.

This content SUCKS. I think the best I've gotten on any of the missions was bronze... I get more XP from Ocean Fishing, but I haven't been able to get into an Ocean Fishing group in 6 months.

I hope they fix this at some point, because as it is, this is the worst content in the game and the worst content I've ever played in FFXIV.
