I do feel when it takes longer to get something it's more rewarding like how FFXI was but let's be honest here, it was never a challenge. It just challenges your patience. You should just just title your thead as "I want things to take longer to get." And I agree, Yoshi should add long term goals where it takes a long time to get and make the rewards actually rewarding, not like those Luminarys (however you spell it). I always thought that's how the Relic quests were supposed to be. He should've made you go through all kinds of hoops to get that Relic.
