I'm with you man, adding grind incentives to this game is almost the craziest thing I've seen them do yet. Unfortunately I can see that it is probably easy to add and the FFXI-ers will enjoy it. They are nuts if they want this to be a grind game but I think Yoshi-P doesn't want that in the long term. Yoshi-P would probably say he hopes you play the game when it's finished.
