I agree with OP, there is NOTHING that would make me go back to that old Korean MMO mentality of farming and stretching 10 hours of content thin out over 200.


Thats what 1.0 was. Tons of empty space to fill in the gaping void left by a lack of actual content and design. Luckly it tanked so that Square could learn from their mistakes.
I would like to point out that drop rates are not always 0.02% I mean in XI Nidhogg always dropped 1 abjuration Fafnir for ridill was kinda rare but I remember my linkshell getting like 7 in 1 month and that was against 3 other LS's sure some drop rates sucked (hocho and thiefs knife for example) but for the majority of stuff the drop rates were fine (I would show you the plethora of rare/ex dropped items I have and I doubt I would have that many if the drop rates were as bad as you claim but XI is in maintenence atm).

And before you tell me if I liked that kinda stuff so much to go back and play those instead... already did. Just killing time for FFXI maintenence to end on a game that is at the moment more entertaining for me than XIV.
