If you want to do something hard to obtain it, but, you will be challenged and surely rewarded for your skill if you can complete it, then that is a path you may also choose. You quoted the part at the end of my post, but left out this part which came not long before it.Which is part of what I am saying here. In all honesty you glorify Mythics as something difficult to obtain, I see it rather differently, anyone who wants a Mythic, can get a Mythic, there is nothing hard or special about it, the only thing that stops you from making a Mythic is the time you're willing to waste doing the same events over and over again that are meant for a person literally almost 50 levels under you, even if you do Salvage II for your Alexandrites, Odin II for your Ichor, it makes little difference, your true achievement is nothing more than the ability to say you wasted away a certain degree of time doing these events, you achieved nothing special, you proved no special level of skill, you just did old events a lot of times, whup te do, there is no glory or achievement in that.
I do not mean to seem condescending about it, I myself am working on 3 Mythics, one for me, my friend, and my GF, and I am for the most part getting stuck doing a great majority of the work, due to the other two having the inability to play often enough to keep up with things easily, so in the event we do not do Assaults on a given day or miss Salvage, I often have to do two or three runs of Salvage, and end up double or triple boxing Assaults so I can get things done toward them. It is for this very reason I realise the mediocrity of these 'challenges' laid out for us in order to obtain these weapons.
I hate your comparison by the way, the idea that people want things just because others don't have them, or they are uncommon, in all honesty I hate that mentality unless its something literally meaningless besides having something you know few have such as titles, but I know also that not a single person agrees with me on that really so its a pointless argument. In either case, the whole idea that just because most can't have a Mythic, you want one, is quite frankly insulting to me, because I find that a very greedy and selfish thing, I hate that kind of sentiment. My reasons for wanting a Murgleis are simply because I want a sword that is not only great for my RDM, but also shows my dedication to RDM, and be it as annoying as a Mythic is now, or as simple as a Relic is, my dedication would be shown all the same to me, because people would see I went out of my way to make a weapon meant specifically for RDM. In all honesty, at this point I am suffering through the annoyance of making a Mythic because the people around me want them, and, well, I am being dragged along, I may as well make my own anyways even if I don't really feel like it due to the fact I see and understand what I perceive as stupid wastes of my time that I am being made to go through in order to get it.
