Alexandrites from DR EX maps and buying maps with myth was a breeze compared to this grind.
Light farming is at least a matter of time and not completely dependant on RNG. With light farming, you're just playing the game and have complete control over the pacing.
With Alexandrite, it's RNG 100% of the way through. Spiritbond? RNG determines what kind of materia you get. Gil making? Play the market--a special brand of RNG all its own, the people kind. And then, there's a potential fail rate when melding it.
