I definitely will have to agree with this. I do think kills would be better than items (20 Kills compared to 20 Umbral Marrows), but I just don't know how this would play out in the future... Unless each server has that one crazy person that is constantly going to be killing ADL on a regular basis (and would let you team up with them for the kills), you probably are going to be SOL after the first wave of relics finish getting to 99. Who knows if that crazy player would be killing ADL near your time zone either.

And then there are the problems of setting up a run for ADL that you also mentioned, which is fairly job specific, so people with relics may not even be able to attend the right job for ADL.

I do like the idea of relic holders banding together to finish their last trials, instead of knifing each other in the back to try to get their own Umbral Marrow, but man... >.<
