Just a regular day of TT

This was meant to be side content and yet I'm seeing people grind this harder than zodiac and gear. Everything in this game right now are huge grinds on top of luck of RNG. Then to pour salt in the wound we got a TT tourney coming up, joy. Wasn't there a slide somewhere from one of the live Q&A with the quote "If its not fun, we're doing it wrong." Well...

I think you may have answered your own question there. It's a Japanese-developed MMO. Eastern MMOs have a tendency towards being grindy, to the point of excess. That's just how they like them over there, I suppose. Unfortunately it means FFXIV has... a long, tedious grind in virtually all of its worthwhile aspects. Which stinks. I love the game a lot, but my loathing for grinds has it so I haven't progressed beyond Zenith for my Relics, haven't leveled even half of the classes, and have barely glanced at Crafting and Gathering.
