I don't mind a hard quest to complete it, even something as hard as the original lvl 75 final stage (which I would be glad to do for the stats they listed for the 99 relics). But telling us "99.9999999% of you will never complete your weapons but here's a consolation prize" is more likely to make people quit than just asking for another 150 million gil in items would have been.
Don't be ridiculous. Relics would not have been a capstone if they weren't the best weapons so they were still done for performance. If they weren't done for performance then Aegis Mandau Apoc Gjallarhorn and Amano wouldn't have been the most popular weapons by a huge margin. And, while technically correct, saying you aren't complete without doing the glow stage and acting like it's some huge slap in the face is really really over dramatic.
