I kinda understand you OP but just try to avoid what you consider extremely grindy or boring to do, sure... I would love to have all my crafts at max level and be able to help my FC and craft cool stuff for them and my character but I find the crafting system REALLY boring so I just focus on getting gear and daily quest every time I log in, once I'm happy with my gear and complete all the new quest in 2.3 I'm going to give the game a break till 2.4, that way I don't get burned out and can still enjoy the game new content at a later date.
