They definitely keep track of it, given that Yoshida touted the EW relics as an unprecedented success because so many more were finished than their predecessors.

Yes, exactly. It does not tell a complete story. I feel like their latest rollouts are hit and miss, some of it seeming like self sabotage. They may need another set of eyes on the project. Their current work gives me the impression they're grading their own work and rollouts. I'm not sure that is going well.
I absolutely refuse to consider the EW weapon a relic, you didn’t earn it, you bought it. It is nothing more than a tome weapon.
The DT relic is a step in the right direction but It was way too late. We should have the relic weapon in X.05 and onward so we have something to do.
I think you may be onto something here. Savage follows rules that are so strict and formulaic for balance and experience at a high level that just taking it and removing the hard parts only leaves a repetitive, hollow husk that's always the same. Really prevents the devs to truly have fun creating some unique things. Nobody gives a crap that it's ultra balanced or not in casual content anyway.
They pull the same crap in pvp as well, and I can tell that it amuses literally nobody at high level that they use win rates to balance jobs.
I farmed for it the same way I farmed for anything that wasn't about tomes. I don't see the difference as far as I'm concerned.
The only valid criticism I can totally see is the total amount required (1500 for a step vs the 20-30k of an anima tome step before the nerfs).
