I did it in ARR. It was tedious, but it was fun because the world was alive. People actually spoke in shout chat to each other, and made FATE parties, and played the game. It was fun. The only frustrating parts were dealing with FATEs with long respawn timers like Big Bagoly Theory or Giant Seps, because they were in the middle of fucking nowhere and you always knew that other people were already there waiting for it to spawn, or dealing with the fact that back then desynth level actually mattered, so you needed someone with high desynth to be able to get the items needed to make the perfect items for the Zodiac step. Atma grinding didn't matter because people were grinding FATEs already to level. Light grinding didn't matter because you needed the Soldiery to buy maps and gear anyway. It wasn't as bad as people claim it was.
