Nearly every activity in this game seems to be "repeat X 100+ times"
yet nearly everyone I talk to in game thinks it's lazy design and boring.

I'm just curious.
Does anyone actually find running the same dungeons or raids 100+ times fun?
For example, are any of you overjoyed at having to do around 600-700 alexander runs?

Is there like a massive section of the FFXIV community that -loves- having to repeat the same raid over and over?
