I think there’s a teensy tiny difference between being as “easy as an offline game” and having to grind 406 CM5 runs (which comes out to ALMOST SIX ENTIRE DAYS worth of SOLID, NON-STOP GRINDING when you add it up – more if you’re not geared enough to finish CM5 20 mins), on top of the already tedious grind it takes to loot or buy the planium you need to forge a full Savniose set (currently 160mil to buy altogether in Fedimian), and the grind to gather the resources you need to reroll the gear’s BS random stats.

I don’t expect endgame gear to be fast to get, but it’s not exactly shocking that people aren’t exactly excited about the set effects being such a pain to get on top of all the other hassles involved (for set effects that are kinda meh to begin with), especially when Savinose gear itself is kinda… underwhelming.
EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to include the 58 mil you need to even buy those damn Pamoka solutions in the first place. And I’m being extremely generous with the numbers, as I just realised it’s weekend and there’s a x2 EXP bonus.
