Ok...let me level with you here SE...

[Strife]

more HNM's?

This!

I, personally, will likely never get a relic or mythic weapon, but this just strikes me as terrible game design and a terrible goal to put in the game.

Then why bother commenting on trials for them? Just kinda sounds like "I don't want SE to make hard stuff cause I'll never get it".

But the Dev team is going to get it into their mind that it's acceptable to make these horrid trials and to make gear even more of a pain to obtain than voidwatch already makes it.

When have they not thought this way? lol
Just because the game has been placed into easy mode now people seem to forget that a lot of old content, especially obtaining 'ultimate' items like relics and mythics were always hard. 30k alex when salvage used to be challenging and fun with low drop rates, people would've killed to change the trial to defeating ADL a bunch of times lol. Collecting currency for original relics -unless you were obscenely rich- took more than a few hundred dynamis runs (poor bastards). SE always has & always will make sadistic trials because as much as we may like to mouth off about them history shows we still like doing -or some people at least- them for that sense of triumph and superiority at the end, of course they also want to keep those ppl grinding and paying their subscription.

If we were certain that's how it would stay, I would agree with you completely.

We can't be certain of anything SE will do except maybe that they do stupid stuff. We can be certain whatever they do people will QQ about it though. lol

Just out of curiosity will anyone on here be doing the +2 trial and i know you have to be pretty brave to say you will on here.
