Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Yukiko]

hm...
I wonder...
Working 2 years on one job powering up spending love and so...
To try something else because its becoming boring or just for fun taking another job now...
Locked out of content because stupid DPS race on most cotent in FFXIV:ARR...
Spending again 1 year just to catch up...
... realize too late that now both jobs are outdated because the 3 month progress in new content with linear item powerups!

Note: Thats a future example, that can possible happen if SE follow their current path

I am interested how new players feel about?
Timesink was never a solution to any problem!

When I heard something about "time to progress" firtstly i thought great, giving the weapon away and gaining it back after time... but to have stupid grinding (once again), all motivation is gone...

This quest is not a requirement. It's an alternative there is no being left behind in this game because everything gets dumbed down so people can catch up. People need to stop behaving like they MUST do this.
