in order, you've said essentially:

"I like that FFXIV isn't like other MMOs and want it to be less like them" (ignore that these are also opinions.)
"I don't understand a simple cliche phrase."
"Deep dungeons exist for people who specifically like Deep dungeon, therefore ruin the gearing for everyone because of the small portion who do Ultimates"
"I skipped the sentence where you said if you were a designer, you'd just leave it be, and make the stated change if you absolutely had to." (Also, isn't it your entire point to make gearing faster for those who want to do Ultimate? What's wrong with making the Ultimate threshold on par with crafted gear if that's the goal?)
"I can't remember what was said just two posts ago about how some unlucky players might only have enough time to gear one class if they only have books" (Also didn't read the part where I preemptively counter the appeal to tradition fallacy)
"I can't understand your analogy, so my rewrite was accurate somehow"

Am I missing anything? Am I being too bad faith here? Because that's pretty much what these posts from you sound like to me. You can keep whining into the wind all you want. I've said my piece a few times now.
Join a debate class or something, and learn some basic concepts of structuring an argument. It'll help you out with a lot more than arguing against some rando on the forums.
