Well, I can only answer from myself personally:

The search area is just wayy too big, and it halted the pace of the story during the time when I was really excited to see the next part of it (we're gonna go ride a starship to the bad guys' den after all!)--this quest screeched all the pacing to an absolute stop, IMO. That, and I also generally dislike the search for stuff in a circle quests in FFXIV, and this one is the MOTHER of them all, lol.

It took me quite a while running around seemingly aimlessly to find them all. I just personally found it a rather asinine way to provide additional story content, to be honest.
