It got so ludacris with the time needed they actually started assigning dungeon ID's so it would be a work in progress and you could spend 3-5 days in one dungeon. It was non-sense. I can seriously remember gear taking a year or more to get. Then they would patch and BAM, in one second you're tier gear was now junk. It took you several months to a year or so to get a full high end tier set and then it was made garbage in one content update. I wasted a lot of my life with that game. I played for four years and never obtained anything better than partial T2 armor.

I'm happy in FFXIV RR that I already have relic gear. It's supposed to be fun, not make me want to throw a cup up against the wall.
Yeah, Vanilla was bad in that sense. But easy and trivial are two separate things.
