The current situation is such that a person basically NEEDS a relic weapon in order to be able to play the job as it's intended.

That's my feelings on the matter. I'm all for seeing Ranger get some much-needed love, but give us what we need, not some silly distraction.

I wouldn't say cheaper cost isn't silly distraction nor "don't really need", when there are many times a player is being asked to come RNG or COR to help out, and player refused to and would rather come another job because he/she isn't in the mood of spending a couple hundred K of gil just to help. Plenty of ppl did that, including some relic RNG. I did that(sometimes) too, if LS want me to help a random VW which I don't need anything and don't get any benefit, I can. But I can't promise that I'm always in the mood to spend a couple hundred K just to help friend/LS. Either I'm coming another job(as previous post stated, don't play it if you can't afford it. So why should I play it if I can't afford it?), or you sponsor my bullet. And I'm not the only one doing that, plenty of well geared anni RNG does it too, that they often demand to come mage if they're not in the mood to spend a couple hundred K to help LS/friend.

Cheaper cost address the issue that you can get ppl to play the job easier when the pt needs it. Of course I'm not saying hate issue for none-relic RNG isn't important. But there's a reason why RNG and COR are one of the least played job in FFXI. In the case of COR, it's very high demand and still one of the least played job.
