The work wasn't tedious, you don't have to complete it either, like in Mabinogi, if you did half the job you got part of the reward. Unlike crafting it will only take like 10 mins to do a job. You can just do it while sitting around town. You will probably say, why not craft sitting around town. Well, some of us don't like to craft, this would just be another activity to do, that we don't have to do. You know, something while we are bored.
