Why should a casual player ever finish a Mythic?

Casual players never had a shot at a relic or mythic back at 75, so why now?

I don't see anything you've said that addresses the argument I put forth. If they reduced the requirements to about 20,000 Alexandrite, the entire thing would be approximately soloable for a person with access to three acounts (minus Einherjar) in half a year. The objectives of the second quest are set up to require about half a year of effort, so asking for a disproportionate reduction in the Alexandrite requirements simply because you've already done most of the other requirements doesn't really make sense.

Also, you keep saying 6 times as expensive when you're obviously ignoring the cost of Marrows. It's more like 4 times as expensive all-told.

When mythics were released, SE said they were the relics that even the casual player can obtain.

Anyway, if you kill all the archaic machinery, get the 4 pouches, and kill boss with TH3+ you will pull about 100 Alexandrite per run on average.

I even get 111/run on average (not fulltiming TH, just applying TH6 to all Alex mobs then dropping to TH3 again). I thought it was a nice enough number to mention. Those stats also include my very early runs when I didn't clear the west room on FL3, which I do now, so it's possibly even higher.

Less than 3 times as expensive on my server. Alex price has fallen a bit while Dynamis currency prices went up. Even with a relic loan a 99 relic will cost you about 35% of a mythic, without a loan closer to 40%.
