I don't think you understand how development time works or what a goal is.

All we have here are people with a passionate difference of opinion about the state of the relic quest line. I don't recall seeing anyone in here "white knighting" SE though, or praising them as a flawless corporation. We have some people who passionately hate the state of the relic quest line, some who are indifferent about it, and some who like it. That's pretty much all there is here.
It's not surprising the term "White Knight" gets used so much.
The number of people claiming Atma, Animus and Novus is not a grind... lol
Have you told yourself this so much, that you actually believe it?
I actually don't mind grinding games, but Fate and Myth grind's are very very boring.
The maps take a little more than 2 min so far, at least for me. As to the materia prices it may be best for people to wait until they come down a bit if they're worried about the cost, which they probably will. In the meantime just gather your Alexandrites. I know the Savage Aim 1s on my server were 5k+ yesterday, and today they were around 2k each so I picked up a few. Economies can fluctuate so it's probably best to wait for temporary drops in prices, or better yet permanent ones.
atmas are a waste of inventory
