I do not question that you and a good amount of people are having fun. I myself enjoy the game very much as well and have since beta. But you can not actually realistically tell me that the new relic grind in itself is a good thing. Can you have fun doing it? Sure. Does it actually push the game forward and provide anything "new" or "innovative" that enhances the game?

You realistically can not tell me this new grind is "unique" or "fun" in and of itself because there is literally nothing new or innovative about it. It is simply cut to make players grind out 1000 of the same dungeon over and over and sink millions of gil blindly into crafting mats for one piece of gear that doesn't even dare risk giving anything even remotely unique as far as abilities go. You can honestly not tell me that design such as that is "GOOD" for this game or any game. A grind CAN be new and fun, when it feels like a grind just to be a grind then it stops being a game it becomes a job.
