That depends on how you play the game really.
I find prog to be the fun part of doing content. You're learning and improving to clear the fight. Once something is on farm, it's lost all enjoyment for me and I only remain for the loot, if even that. Fighting against the RNG of rolling against 7 other people to get anything in PF is like pulling teeth and it makes a tedious grind into a chore before long if RNG constantly lowballs your rolls time and time again. Sure, the books at the end of a clear are there to counterbalance the grind from becoming too long but considering that the Weapon and Shirt require the same books, it's still a pretty long grind if RNGesus just hates you. At least with the 2nd random weapon drop, you get an extra chance of getting something and if it's for your job, then you can just win it outright, assuming no duplicate jobs in a clear.
