i agree with the op. content should reward skill and dedication not luck, several times saw people doing ifrit for the first/second time and they got the weapon i wanted and i did those fights lots of times, i felt like it was a cheap shot from SE, while i was happy for them, sometimes they didnt even had the class/job leveled up, so yeah i would love to see more of the op. ideas implemented, no dumb downs just what is fair, lockouts doesnt seem to be a problem once we have more stuff to do, that will give to the dev team enough time to get quality content all the time.

In durandal you can see several linkshells spaming new content like crazy, in a week you can see several people with full sets or several weapons per character, so in a few words spam content is not the best option, no acomplishment just wait
