Day-to-day things? How about repairing an old car? Takes dedication, knowledge, but isn't exactly challenging. Just time-consuming, probably expensive.

I'm not an advocate for every accomplishment being dictated by time spent, and I certainly don't mind encounters like the Hard mode Ifrit, but the mindset that everything should be like the ifrit fight or it's not an accomplishment at all is silly. That's all I'm saying.

At the end of the day if leveling is no longer considered an accomplishment, it is a useless feature because there is no challenge in it either. It should be either removed completely or made an achievement (through requiring enough dedication to be considered as such). Do you have an alternative solution?
