I'm not pretending or ignoring anything, thanks. This whole argument is about subjective perceptions of tedium. You think "a handful of hours" every day for weeks on end is fine. I don't. That's the argument in a nutshell. You can assert that it's "easy"; ease has nothing to do with it. You can say that "its meant to last years" and I will boggle at that concept. Other people can use the tired excuse that people complaining "just want a handout", and that's equally ridiculous.

"Tedium" literally means "tiresome because of length or dullness". Admitting that something is "mind numbingly boring" is pretty much admitting that it's tedious, but whatever.

People's perspectives have gotten warped by years of MMO developers pushing out substandard products and people just gobbling it up because there's no alternative. The reason there's no alternative is because the consumers don't demand better.

There can be a happy medium between "handed out for free" and "tedious grind". The Saucer is not even close to being at that point, and people are entirely justified in complaining about it.

I'm done with this thread, so you can have the last word, and that will be that for my part. If this content "just isnt for me" then that's fine, and maybe ill unsubscribe, and FFXIV will lose another 15 bucks a month.

Because that's good for the health of the game. That's what lovers of this game should strive for: fewer subscriptions. Right? Sure.
