^^This.

Not all of us paid for their clears or had FC's that could rally up a fully geared and knowledgeable party. Alot of us had to learn every fight from the ground up.

Took me a while to learn Ifrit on my own. Lots of parties with other people that were learning...lots of wipes.
Took me a while to get a competent party for Chimera and to learn the mechanics.
The Garuda fight was easier for me because I actually did have my FC walk me through it.
Titan I haven't attempted yet because I'd like to gear up for it. Regardless of whether I absolutely need to or not, I like to do my part in being at least moderately equipped for the task I'm about to participate in. I'm already on the 2nd week of gearing.

Getting my relic will feel accomplishing to ME because I had to put effort into it. Those that are saying it's easy are MMO prodigys, bought their way through their fights, had an FC help them throughout, got extremely lucky, or any combination of those.

It might be nice if some of you elaborate on what could be changed to make it more difficult/challenging/rewarding/exclusive etc. Cuz right now all I see is a bunch of subjective comments rating "difficulty" based on the resources people had available to them for their relic quest.
