There were some people who claimed to be going for a relic but then sold the currency, and I'd agree that those people sucked. But pushing a relic is (or maybe was) the only way to complete a relic in a reasonable amount of time (e.g. less than a year). Even if you had 999,999,999 gil, it would have taken forever to buy the currency from bazaars.
This change is for the better- mostly eliminating the cost of dynamis and making it an open area will both make relics easier to get and making the currency cheaper and eliminate all the hate, but stop labeling run sponsors as horrible people. For the most part, they're not.
If you feel you're being exploited, you have the right and ability to get out at any time. If you're honestly interested in helping someone get a relic, you have every right and ability to stay. All I know is the leaders of my shell were good people and did not walk all over everyone or behave in ways the group didn't approve. And they continued to run dynamis after relics were completed.
No matter who you are, as far as I can tell, everyone wins with these changes. I just don't like seeing people be unfairly hated on.
