Square Enix should really address dungeon loot drops...

Does the grind ever stopped you to play ?

They're here to waste ur time with pixels,

Yes.
It does "stop me to play" because I am not here to waste MY time.

Make something too grindy and I probably won't do it.

Make something designed to waste my time and I def won't do it.

This just means the game effectively has less content for me, and I'm able to spend more time unsubbed the more content I just don't engage with.

And when I do force myself to engage with this, I, like you, don't have fun running a duty 150+ times. And I'm less likely and less inclined to stau subbed for long periods when I've just had no fun playing for days on end.

That's you and only you, while a lot will still do it because they really want that glamour. It works for some, it doesn't for others we all have a specific reason to play, if grind or collecting stuff isn't ur thing it will be to others.
It's not grindy to the point that majority stop will stop playing the game because some things are locked behind rng.
Time you dont spend on grind you'll waste on something else, rng and grinding isn't the whole point of the game, but a part of it for sure.
Even with tokens, if you need 99 extremes fights to get a mount that's still a huge time sink.

That's you and only you,

It literally isn't?
We have 9 pages of people ragging on this system. Even among the small group of players that use the forums I'm not alone.

And those people will still have plenty of things to grind even if SQEX adds in a system here similar to EX raid totem or alliance raid coin.

It won't stop the majority from playing, but neither would only having X and Y coordinates on the map.
Z coordinates were added as a QOL to help make the experience smoother for players. I believe a change to the level cap dungeons loot drops would also be a good QOL.
The grind can still be there, just reign it in a bit.

That is a huge time sink, yes. But you go into it knowing there is a light at the end. Extending that kind of pity system to this content is exactly what many of us are asking for.
