    By the logic you are giving, most titles in this game are "easy" to get due to the cost. For way cheaper then what the carrots are going for, you can spend that gil getting completing so much (and hell, can even get clears of certain content if you find an FC doing that for a large gil payment)

    The only thing the achievement serves is to show who is actually crazy enough to waste that much gil on ONE title, because with how low the drop rate is on the carrots and how the chests respawn, that's the only way someone has it.

    i dont think its a waste, because theres nothing else of value to buy in this game. Whoever has 2b+ doesnt care about anything on the market

    In the context of OC, this achievement is something SE expect everyone to obtain by grinding. Yet, what we are seeing now completely contradicts that notion. It is not supposed to be an easy title to get, but it is circumvented by the gil method.

    No, this is definitely false. You would need to open ~1m chests to get the achievement which would take ~50,000 hours assuming 20 chests an hour which is generous. No way square expected that.

    It was 100% intended for this achievement to be purchased. Its why the carrots are MB.

    You need 100.000 chests, not 1m, the droprate is 1%. You can open about 30-40 per hour, so thats 2500 hours of grind. Its bad but still doable. Winning 3k frontline matches is more time consuming

    it is 1% per chest, which adds up in the wrong odds even further....

    it is like you can have a gather point at 99% and fail to get some 3 out of 4 attempts....

    Also when removing materia from gear that is supposed to be 40% it is not when you add it up.

    I'm tired, sorry. Still, thats 100 DAYS online time in OC playing optimally.

    well, you dont have to. You can farm it by all possible means in the game, since you can also just buy them for gil. Nothing locks you into OC

    Thats my whole point. There is no way SE intended people to grind it for 2500 hours.
