Dynamis would need at least 8-12 people, and Limbus has 3 days lock down. None of the Aht Ungat content can be solo as well on "classic FFXI". Since the main goal would be only to make your relic and mythic weapon and getting artifact +1 gears. This will ensure everyone is stuck in a hamster grind wheels for years.
I don't think you understand what a hamster wheel grind is. THIS game has a hamster wheel, that is, that every step forward is inevitably going to go backward. You have a problem with the long time it takes to get something in old ffxi, yet you have spent 1 year here now grinding gear to get no further relative to the "end" than you were within the first 3 months. The progression here is an illusion, THAT is a hamster wheel, in ffxi it took a while but your rewards were good for the duration of the lvl 75 era of the game. You are doing the exact same thing here except you are just transitioning through more phases.
