Alright let's try to be constructive?

I'd like negative people to post what they might consider fun, or if not fun, what would make the grind worth it?

For positive people, is there anyway for this grind to be fun for those upset, without hurting what you like about the current state of the quest.
Also if you can think of a way to make it even more fun what are your ideas?

I personally think for the hardcore people they should've made an extreme version of chimera or hydra fights, optional. Where it's pretty hard but mastered can get you those parts a little quicker. That let's the people who don't like hard content continue on the easier but slightly more grindier path.
