I think I did about 70 and got 1 seal. And that was with having a top contributor nearly every time. The drop rates were horrifyingly low.

I'm more upset that those of us who got our 3 seals from each hamlet and used them for the relic quest didn't get our seals returned to us so we could turn them in for the new tombstones used for darklight etc...

I'd guess that normal relic quests have been nerfed. The awkwardness of obtaining them in 1.0 was pretty much just something to keep us busy and also I imagine the devs will want us to be getting on with the relic+1 quests. There is also the consideration that they'll want us to have them to be able to compete in the Crystal Tower etc.

What I thought too when I went to check out the NPCs. Oh well, what's done is done. I wouldn't want new players to go through the torture and boredom that was 1.0 hamlet anyway. It was kinda cool for about 5 runs.

Relics are this game's Epics, right? The purple ones?

that got me thinking that maybe that could be something similar.
I don't know.. I'm more than willing to admit it's just speculation but weekly caps seem like the only thing that would make anything take any time in ARR

Not sure what an Epic is but yes they are Purple.

I feel exactly the same but I don't think they are time sinking it to be honest. Relics are now a midline of endgame gear and not the pinnacle anymore.

An epic is usually a purple colored item icon and is really powerful in stats. I think Epics originally were from Everquest.
