Cosmic Exploration is CASUAL content with a pinch of midcore

You're missing the point and focusing on the mount even though it was just a single example. I guess it was a bad one because I don't actually care about the squirrel mount, I want it but not enough to grind for months straight or break my bank to buy the tokens to get it. It was merely an example because as expansions come out getting extremely tedious stuff like that becomes less about buying the tokens and being a pure grind because people stop grinding those tokens in favor of the new ones thus making it even harder for a casual player to obtain such a thing. And yes nothing is necessary it's just a game, but the fact is the game is suppose to be fun. Also how about you get your toxic ass attitude of telling me to go play a single player game when I clearly stated earlier that I am not talking directly about me or my experiences, I grinded 4 relics in 3 days because I didn't want to front millions of gil for the gacha items and I don't feel like running around the open world, so I stood in the same spot all day every day doing mission after mission getting gold after gold to get it all myself save for the space suit because after 100 spins and no suit I said screw it it's only 230k so I bought 2 and sold the other as individual pieces and made back the money i spent on both.

I am speaking from knowing what other players are thinking, weather you want to see it or not.

You already talked about people being poor so why would you suggest buying tokens as an option? They're FATEs, they're soloable and most anyone can do them (aside, I guess, from the folks who fail solo duties). But yes there are other aspects of the game you might miss out on if you aren't a player that can commit many hours to it. Even if it's not you in this hypothetical scenario, my response remains the same. If you/they feel so distraught when they see another person has something they don't, then single player games are where it's at. If that's what these hypothetical people are thinking, they need to unironically grow up a little. It honestly sounds like a tiring existence that they need to move on from.
