Honestly, at this point, there's nothing to be done about it. You either do the stuff and be ready now or you don't.
If it honestly, truly concerns you then you should take your concern directly the FFXIV Official Forums (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forum.php) and tell the developers about it. Arguing the various points back and forth here does nothing, and doesn't get anyone to address any concerns you have. We're never going to have a consensus here, and even if we did it amounts to exactly zero.
