There's 0 effort to leveling a crafting class (unless you consider locating the turbo function on your controller "effort")

True, but it's boring as all hell.

So using turbo function will enable me to automatically search and buy mats on the wards? or automatically make me go to leve counter and deliver the leves? Damn, I should buy one then

I think the system is fine as is. It is already a lot easier than FFXI.

In the predecessor FFXI at least with every dynamis you completed you were a bit closer to your weapon.

Not sure what game you are playing there. Every Dynamis I completed contributed nothing to my relic, though it contributed to 1 person out of 30-50 people. I won't call getting 5 pieces of currency "progress" when I need about 20k units.

If you go the buy all currency route, even with a 2m income a week, it would take 2 years for some of them. People are completing this is just a handful of months.

I think you misunderstood relics.
The only purpose of Relics is to bring back life to every single piece of content.

Relic weapons aren't supposed to be accessible to everyone, they're supposed to be hard to get, require a stupid amount of time/effort, and currently they do. This is a game where having multiple 50's of different styles of play is rewarded, asking the Devs to pander to specific play style is unethical.

For me, I don't really have problems with current settings. Sure, the money part can be a big problem, but that is still something anyone can work towards.

There's only 1 thing I need it to be taken out: RNG!
RNGs are for gamblings such as poker games, not adventure games or RPGs. Think I would rather play poker online if I'm RNG addict. :p

It is, but leves are now so much better and the new quality system almost always guarantees you'll be getting more exp than you used to.

It's still really slow in my opinion, but that doesn't mean it's not loads better than it used to.

Yep.

The relic quests influenced my LS to work on their crafting and gathering jobs and they are actually enjoying the end result (being able to make their own/repair their own gear or make some great money/supply for the rest of the LS) and now that leveling either is quite painless, it's not so bad as long as you put the time in. Most of us can only play a few days a week, too, so it's not as inaccessible as some people claim.

I really think the devs are going to have to introduce a system where threads have to be approved before going public! The pure amount of tripe on here lately good god i have nothing good to read in work!
