    I don't think the 'grind' is particularly bad this time around, really. I've been dipping into Zadnor for half an hour to an hour each evening, it's been less than a week since it went live and...I'm already max rank with the raid completed.

    Even after going into the raid blind and dying a lot to the last two bosses the mettle gain easily offsets any losses upon successful completion.

    That's not to say I would be opposed to a challenge log...I just don't think it's a necessity. Especially for content that's meant to last for the next six months.

    Problem with after you reach max rank, proofs of mettle cost a whopping 20 million for 3 of them.

    In context: That's 7 runs of The Delabria (7 hours or so) or 77 skirmishes in the rank 3 zone (at 261,000 mettle a skirmish) however long that would take you.

    For 3 ranks of mettle. It has been estimated that it might take upwards of 600 million mettle to max everything out.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Between skirmishes, Dalriada and CEs it doesn't take as long as you claim per turn in. I would try doing more than one activity at once and educate yourself better as to how things work.
