Of course it is always great to have a nice piece of equipment or weapon at the end of it, but that's only 30% of my fun at best.

It is a game, for entertainment. The best entertainment is doing the content, not having something in my inventory.
That's good to hear that you were lucky enough to find people to do it. However, not everyone is so lucky.

On Fabul it's commonplace to see multiple Ifrit shouts, plus exp/sb shouts, and even a few Sentinel gear shouts (notice I just listed sentinel gear, not any others).

But for Darkhold? It's extremely rare. And when someone does shout for it, it rarely fills up with 8/8, which leads to people having to make threads just to get a party to do it with. Notice that he, like you, seems to only want to do it for the personal achievement, which is fine. But not everyone plays for the same reasons, and now this person is having a very difficult time getting a group for it because others don't play for the same reasons that he does.

I'd bet you any amount of gil that if the drops were worth the effort (risk vs reward) that he would likely have no problem setting up a group for this. But of course, this isn't the case.

As I stated in my first post in this thread. New players who finally got their first 50 are getting left out of experiencing all that the game has to offer. He's likely been looking forward to doing this well before he hit lv50, but now is having a very hard time getting people for it.

If you ask me, old content should only be made obsolete when the level cap gets raised, not each time new content comes out. I feel bad for those who haven't even attempted Ifrit yet, because they'll likely have the same trouble of finding a group once Moogle weapons are released. If history is any lesson, Moogle weapons will make Ifrit weapons obsolete, just like Ifrit made DH obsolete.
