no one has that much free time to grind out 1k Legion tokens from 5 LT per turn in
Yet people have time to farm VHL, AFDL, ENNH and *insert whatever else the nation has for offer*, where you can possibly (and likely will) spend hours trying to get an uni 13 and/or Non Mem Voucher.
Getting 1k LTs with the Dreadrock quest is 3-4 hours of farming, which isn't that much if you can spread it over a couple days. Also, the Legion is still not a place where everything gets served for free, even with Shogun Paragon, which is/is going to be the most widespread Paragon, getting 1k LTs will still cost you 30-45 minutes of our time, assuming you farm optimally, or close to optimally. Yes, it's easier than the Nation in general, but you still need to do a lot more work than for your average release merge shops.
Case and point, if you have time for Nation farming, you have time for Paragonless LT farming.

They're actually not hard, Diamond and Gem of Nulgath are hard.
Dark Crystal Shards are actually up there on the rank list of Nulgath Resources, but it's not because it necessarily takes that long to get compared to stuff like Totems and Blood Gems (which btw, Blood Gems are easier than Totems), but it's just because you generally need a lot more of them compared to both of those.
I did a test where I farmed Essence of Defeat once, took me about 7 minutes, everything included, so I can say that Essence of Defeat takes 6-8 minutes on average, it's kind of hard to pinpoint an exact number because Makais and Tibicenas' Chain can vary. Keep in mind it was done with normal classes (Glacial Berserker, Eternal Inversionist and DragonSlayer General) and with no damage boosts and the need to solo Tibicenas. You could easily shave off seconds if you used chaorrupter or BB V2 for example, or just a standard 15% boost for that matter.
So now we can say that, at worst, it should take 8 minutes per quest completion, and assuming it's a 50/50 split on 1 and 2 DCS from the quest, that's ~6 minutes per DCS (~10 DCS per hour, in a "worst case scenario" situation).
Now look at Totems, they take 30-45 minutes, in my experience and Blood Gems take 10-20 (by using the buyback shop for Tendurrr), but they are usually not required in bigger amounts than 10, unless it's for a bigger item like VHL, AFDL and ENNH. Dark Crystal Shards are used in the tens to hundreds, usually, which is why people think they are hard.
Let's take VHL as an example, you will need 200 DCS, which will take anywhere from 15-20 hours, I would say. Now look at the same amount for Diamonds, which takes 1-2 minutes per Diamond in Evilwarnul and that's even with the non mem quest. So that should be 4-5 hours, at worst, way easier than DCS. It does require an Uni 13, but you also need 8th Betrayal Blade for instant access to Essence of Defeat anyways, so they should be about equal in terms of requirements to farm then.
Gems are also easier than DCS with these numbers applied. 10 Gems = 1 Totem, 1 Totem = 30-45 minutes, therefore, 1 Gem = 3-4 minutes, not to mention the decent droprate of Gems from Larvae. With this math, Gems are already close to twice as fast to farm as DCS and again, they are also generally used in smaller amounts than DCS, with some exceptions.

If there isn't going to be a pet, I doubt people are going to buy ACs. Nul's farming pets are one of the reasons people buy ACs and keep this game running.
Nulgath pets, while they probably make a lot of AC sales, are not as integral to AC purchases as you think, people buy ACs because of the Monthly packages and all the different rare shops, mostly. If Nulgath farming pets was the only reason people bought ACs, why do so many people buy the 2nd tier packages so often (12k ACs or 12 months mem + 7k ACs) if they would only need at max 1.5k per year and maybe a couple thousand extra for Nulgath Rares. Don't forget that TLaPD is also a big time of the year for all the big spender
There's also the people who buy membership regularly, just because they want to be member, which adds another source of income for AE besides ACs.

all you guys looking for an easy way out
Most people are just looking for equality, Orbs and CVKS are already in game, but only available to the select few people who were there + had the ACs + actually bought it, it's kind of like how so many people want rare skillsets to come back, to give everyone a leveled playing field, no matter when you started playing. I know there was times when stuff was easier (Dreadrock Gem Exchange) and harder (Diamonds before Evilwarnul), but all those cases comes down to natural progression, quests get added/removed, still giving everyone currently playing, a leveled playing field where everyone needs to play by the same rules and with the same quests. Some were playing during the right times, got some easy bonuses, but was limited time for everyone.
If AE was to just add a pet similar to CVKS/Orbs, even if it was seasonal (then you would at least know that the option would present itself every year), you would see significantly less people complaining.
