I know that my gaming IQ is fairly low, for I recall adrenaline making my temples throb, while crossing Sauromugue, braving skinks and cocks... and goblins and the Yagudo, and dying at least thrice on the way there, to get to the spot where I could find the dragonflies that dropped the blasted grass. And then trying to figure out why the wretched bird would not take the third dose of his medicine. At the time I got the license, I had so little money that buying the grass at the AH seemed like financial suicide. But I was just a poor player... in love with the universe that had just opened in front of me, and I wanted to cross it on a feathered ride. A ride that seemed precious every time, since I often was close to not having the money to pay for it.

A Shackespeare writing golden the pill, but the fact it's the same: chocobos in ffxi require:
-obtain 6 gyhsal greens. 1 minute from ah, more if you're so much poor, but hardly a challenge
-trade a gyhsal to chocobo
-go afk for 1 hour
-repeat for 5 times
it isn't really something i call challenging nor fun, but just a loss of time. And an unecessary one too, since chocobos are a basic form of traveling, and need to be done from a low level character. You can't expect a long and difficult quest like black belt for a chocobo, cmon...
