Eeeh.... OP asks a valid question though. One I have asked myself, of no one in particular, when certain things frustrated me to no end and I let out a heavy sigh. However, those weren't exactly the same issues, not with the DoW/DoM jobs anyway.... Although I won't argue the fact that those too could use some tweaking, almost all of them.

My issues are the insane amount of RNG involved in just about everything; the blatantly non-existent actual rule system when playing TT with NPCs and the easy workarounds to tournaments; the non-accessibility of so many items and features; the incredible repetitiveness of certain quests and designs; the unbelievable time- and gil-sinks finetuned to the top few % of players who burn everything out faster than one could blink (cue non-accessibility); the whole housing fiasco................ I guess I could go on, or I could give a detailed list of these, but I think everyone has an inkling as to what I'm on about.
