Has any game ever made you "go OCD" on collecting something?

I was looking for a turn based MMO for my fiance and I to play, we wanted to avoid Atlantica but that seemed to be the only real option so we figured we would give it a try. Worst case scenario we get annoyed with the cash dependency and quit right?

Well...we're slowly losing our minds. Not over the cash shop mind you, but over the monster info collecting. We have spent 4.5 hours so far grinding the very first tutorial enemy, the Cave Bat, trying to get its Origin Info. We have made ~1800 gold each on enemies that only drop 2-5 gold each. But we have to have the info! It's like...we can't leave until we finish our book, and we still have a few more tutorial enemies to go...

So any game ever done this to you?

I spent hours and days killing the same mob over and over again in Fantasy Earth Zero trying to get a pair of "Elven Ears". They were terrible items with useless stats, but they looked so CUTE.

The enemies that dropped them only appeared in ONE map, in one ZONE, at a certain game TIME. It was driving me INSANE, INSANE.

Oh god that sounds awful sutas :s

I guess the closest I've come to that is my RO day's trying to get certain cards. Some cards took weeks to get but I wouldn't give up until I got them.

Good times tho

I'm pretty sure RO is king when it comes to this kind of thing. I can't count how many hours I wasted trying to get different shit.

I forgot about RO, that was one of my biggest blunders ever. My fiance spent days farming Smokies trying to get the cat ears. She begged me for help, I went to the map she was farming in, killed a single Smokie, got the ears, and then walked off all happy I found a rare item and could turn them into Black Cat Ears. Yea...brain fart extreme. She still rubs that one in my face sometimes.
