lolRelic Weapon? SE what have you done?

[Secondplanet]

I do not mean to pick on those who shed blood sweat and tears to get their gear title's or status in the game but to look down on other players since some endgame players think they are above them isn't right, that is why relic and mythic etc.. carries such bad reputation with them. If there wasn't as many corrupt or greedy LS's out there for these very items they would still have the prestige title that comes with them but alas they don't, when most players see a relic item they think back on how they were stepped on to get someone else theres and automatically resentment sets in.

Its just like the matt cap, back in the day it was a sign of great worth but now its nothing more then a worthless object due to abyssea allowing any/everyone to get all jobs maxed out in a week. I love the trial weapons since they have given me the ability to get a good - perp cost as smn and why should that kind of awesomeness be reserved for only those with the mythic staff for smn?

I would show great respect for anyone able to finish a relic but with the sea of greedy/selfish/backstabbing people out there trying to get theirs its hard to distinguish between those who deserve them and those who took them.

at 75 ele staffs, B staff was good, magin was good if you put the time in it but ele staffs was a good start.

I do understand where people are comming from secondplanet, I know it exists. Its painful to see that there is people that view everyone like that.

At 75 a lot of relic gear was good so Bahamut's comment was out of line, and hopfully after me mathing it out you understand why it is upsetting for him to make a statment like he did.

I do understand waiting to take the concept out so people are not encourage to use people in such a way. I made a post about how people abuse people in other ways as well, getting relics is not the only form of people abuse.

I had someone harass me on my BLU to run down to get someones yellow trigger, all they said was hurry hurry ( i was trying to be nice I said yes before they where in harass mode) I asked if i could lot PLD as i was running down there without an answer, I get there and I was kicked out of the party for lotting PLD.

A problem in this game of people abuse is not relics, but SE not having polices to let GMs do things about it.

Wow...really?

You may have some people figured out...but that is not everyone. I never sponsored a dynamis run, never even considered buying gil to finish. Ive always found myself as one of the more outgoing people to play FFXI

Remarks like these only lead to showing how butthurt you really are that you could never finish a relic.

When they released Empryean, I was 90% done with Annihilator, wasn't about to stop. And for the record, I didn't spend almost 2 years and 170mil to have a 2nd rate weapon..especially one out done by two weeks of what lazy people call "hard work"

170 MIL?!?!?! wth gun is one of the cheapest ones

i shouted for 10 for shells and 12 for bronze, and people bought byne for 4/5k

2 years ago I am not sure if that was the point of 7k/8k ea, but ti was close to the peroid of being cheapest.

2008 sih is when i seen them at the cheapist rate.

when and how much did you buy each for?

But I am the same boat as you, I could sold all my currecy I had on me for 120 M before going though with it, but i went to get my bow anyway in hoping SE would fix them, plus I do not know what I would do with 120 M, donoate it to people that are in hand me stuff mode? pay people to get emp weapons?
It was a goal I had for 6 years so I finished it ( serious work didnt really start till about 5 years ago ,saving money and buying and selling coins as i seen fit)

Bynes: 5-6k
Shells: 10-12k
Bronze 14-16k, usually the latter...

Regardless, Doing relics/mythics takes a lot of discipline. As many times as I wanted to walk away, Then just to finish to find out you've completed a second rate weapon to something that can be done in a week..sigh
