Fact of the matter is the game started as a big group effort with alliance etc. Game is now at a point where for all intents and purposes alliances are just an option not a necessity. If anything comes with the new dynamis change making relic more attainable it should be welcomed.

As for the whole argument about relics being outclassed by emp weapons, i am not sure they have changed much. If i am not mistaken relics have only fallen to second best (not including the ones that were never that great to begin with). As of the lv 90 magian trials they have shown signs of improving the WS and such of both mythic and relic, so they will becoming more powerful so in this regard i honestly just say let's see where it ends up.

Relic is not harder to attain then an emp as a post right before mines mentions. It just costs more in terms of money. Otherwise ur only effort goes into finding the coins to buy. Thus my disagreement at the start of my post with the OP, where as relic and mythic should be made as available as an emp. and previous time spent should never be a reason to be disappointed at newer development.
