The OP hit the nail on it's head - "I don't expect everything to be "handed" to me, but I want my time to be valued". And as it stands they've made me completely adverse to the idea of 'setting foot' in OC again.
I totally agree with you. The grind should produce results. This is the 1st step of the relic weapons, and players shouldn't spend hours upon hours grinding in a zone, especially doing FATES outside of OC, and not end up with anything. I don't mind grinding as long as it is productive. Doing FATES, like I have in a zone for several hours & don't get anything besides bi-color gemstones (which I could careless about), isn't productive.
