FF14 main appeal is in the theme parks - aka "dungeon grinds" - FATE and levee quest are just icing in the cake you eat while you wait for your dungeon. Is it perfect? NO, I want them to add more lower lvl dungeons. The level 50 endgame theme parks are good though, it has plenty of options for you to do every day from dungeons to daily stuffs. The point is, this is a game where you can log in and play for a 2-3 hours (heck even one hour if you just do daily and duty roulette guildhest or one lower level dungeons duty roulette). It is not for maniacs who log in and play 20 hours a day... and then complaint "OMG so boring, nothing else to do, gimme my stupidly looooooong tedious grind NOW".

It's a log and play game, quick burst of short term entertainment, not exactly "investment" where you pour your heart and soul, and treat it as your second part time work where you need 30-40 hours a week of game play to be able to "achieve" something and require massive dedication and time investment....
