If farming mobs without a purpose was fun to me, sure I certainly would, however, it’s not. It would be like saying you could farm dailies and get no rewards from them if that’s what you enjoy.
I agree on the bag space, this is another reason to add to why I stated that two options instead of one would be fantastic, opt to do daily method, or opt to do farming, a choice, an optional choice that both people could appreciate rather than ripping it from one permanently to appease another. This method does not encourage me to engage, it encourages me to quit bothering with it altogether, as it’s boring to me, just like the grind is boring to you and others.
Options never hurt anyone.
