Relics are too easy to get

[PiedPiper]

Time and dedication, child.
Adults have a work and a social life and they usually come home late and have few hours to play.
You want this game to be addressed only to students and unemployed people like XI used to be? just say so.

I have full time employment, avid hobbies and a significant other. This doesn't mean I expect the hard content of the game to be tailored to me. If you cannot/willnot allocate time to learn and compelte hard content, why do you feel like it ought to be available to you?

There is plenty of content in the game for more casual players (leveling, crafting, ifrit and garuda, dungeons, etc) who have smaller chunks of time to play. Also, if you set up a raid schedule for one or two nights a week, its not at all hard to chip away at harder stuff, esepcialy if your group is willing to research ahead of time (say during a break at work, stuck in the dmv, etc) rather than plowing ahead into the unknown like we did.

There should also be rewards for those players that want to invest more time (1.0 luminarys, coils, relics, etc).



OR: Introduce a nerfed version of the fight that will finish the relic quest, but the version you get is ilvl70. (Gives fusedore instead of Hyperfused ore yo). Casuals still get the shiny, "xcore yo" get teh slightly better shiny. Nerf could be the fight as it is, slightly less hp on heart (30%?) and rockslide doesn't do knock back. You still learn all the mechanics, but its much less damading and "laggy players" can't get knocked off. Any class can survive a single sand hit, so spreading out would make it possible to just heal through sands if theyr'e an issue.
