I don't mind doing the quest. In fact I'm doing the crystals right now for my SMN while I take bard up to level 50. It's not so bad yet and I'm doing daily beastmen quests while I'm at it. I expect it to take time, but adding a unique stat to it I agree would be fun. That though does link back to I think they should make more in depth stats and reworking some of the things anyways.

Someone made a good post about using FFIX AP system, and applying it on this game. General gear gets general things. Raid gear getting obviously much well deserved ones and things like Relic getting something really job specific.

If they don't do anything I'll still play. I do love this game a lot and I wouldn't say I'm sick of it.
