Hahah wait.. are you serious?

[Matsume]

I'm sure this has been brought up countless times by other logical members of this community however I am not going to read the last 166 posts to check, instead I'll just say it like it is:

@OP:

1. Doing one AK run per day (two on a weekend?) is by no means a grind. Getting a 75 in FFXI (pre lvl 99 cap) was a grind. You would have spent as much time shouting for a group in jeuno then as you do running AK now. First and main point invalid.

2. More dungeons? Come 2.1 You will see crystal tower (24 man raid) and the addition of 2 new high level dungeons, presumably equal if not higher in lvl than AK that, hopefully, will drop seals of myth or philosophy in addition to more gear. Second point invalidated.

3. You want to grind away on a challenging boss fight that will drop "ohshitthatdidnotjusthappen items"? Why don't you start off by killing titan and getting your Reic then come back to me once you've cleared the first turn of the Binding Coil of Bahamut. When I see Junpei Gunso wearing his Heavy Allagan Chest piece i go "oh shit lookit dat item". Third and Fourth points invalidated.

In other words, you don't really have any valid points. Everything your OP claims to want is already in game if not comming in a month or so. You just seem to want to complain for the sake of complaining. By the way, you don't even need full darklight to get into bahamuts coil, so its not like one AK run a day is holding you back.

actually it's primal+darklight->relic->binding coil->crystal tower, which was ready but got delayed because too difficult and needed more tuning

My sources indicate that Crystal Tower is an ilvl 80-85 dungeon that is meant to be accomplished before the Binding Coil of Bahamut, hence Yoshi P's reasoning that less that 100 players globally will complete the 5 turns of the Binding Coil of Bahamut by the time patch 2.1 comes out.
