This is SE's incompetent design, so yea blame them. People who spent time farming essences specifically for DF DR just kind of screwed themselves over by not doing the math, or not understanding it, and I guess they're a little bitter about it.
I just didn't want to feel guilty going into the content without them c.c But after 2 hours of cluster farming and only getting 8 essences I was kinda pissed...
