True, but I'd rather gain _something_ from those turns, and the Gyms give me a couple of stat subpoints for my time.
The alternative is something like:
{Use MPs for self-buffing, Rest} x3, if I have a buff that needs to be reapplied. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
It's just annoying wading through turn after turn of useless Asbestos and Chrome Ores and cave-ins when the RNG is in a bad mood. I don't think there's another roadblock that's quite as annoying in the game; at least if the 334 scrolls, Goat Cheeses, Immateria, Giant Wheel, Butterknife et al. aren't popping up in their respective areas, you're getting stat points and items and meat from what is popping up. Even plowing half a day into the Friar's Gate waiting for the fucking Map gives you Hellion Cubes.
