    Prior to this patch, many of you were whining about how this game is boring, everything is handed to the player, nothing to do after Monday, bla bla bla.

    So here's the thing, SE gave you something to work on, something that will occupy the remaining 6 days of the week. And then you lot whine again.

    One advice, in the future think before u whine, SE takes this seriously.

    How many asked for RNG, bucko? I sure as hell did not, I asked for something skill based that will take time. Step 2 of this Relic Upgrade Quest fulfills that. But Step 1? Whoever asked for it needs to go to the Insane Asylum if they think this is fun at all.

    Well, to occupy everyone's free time, they need to make you grind, bread and butter of all MMO. It is either grinding based on RNG or a set number of grind. Even if it is a set number of grind, people will still complain. Just take a look at tank forum when they are whining about the 200 times in high level dungeon grind for mount. MMO is not design for all to get the highest level of gear over night. You need to put in afford. Well, i might admit, grinding LOW level fate might be too much. May i suggest the below possible solution:-

    1. Grind high end dungeon for loot that will only drop by final boss. Something like grinding nightmare (mount) from extreme.
    2. Grind a set number of high end dungeon. Looking at the amount of 300-400.

    How does that sound? Not good? Then what you guys expect? kill 10 oppo oppo and get your final relic?

    This is just the beginning of the patch. People rushing for them all the time. Just like when lightning event started people swarming in for the FATE, but after a week, everything cools down. Like SE mentioned, this relic thingy requires a lot of time and most people won't be able to complete it before next patch. So here you go, something collective that you can keep working on.

    Or we could, you know, not do them.

    It isn't just about rushing content and trying to get it done for a week. Even if I farmed FATEs for an hour a day, every day, I am pretty sure there is nothing I would enjoy about it.

    By all means, make it take a long time to get. Make it take dedication. But make the trial relevant to player skills that are valuable to players who are actually going to use these weapons.

    Personally, I think more people would have had an issue with the way things were before if more people were able to actually kill titan. I think that acquiring an important reward like your class weapon should be arduous and require a lot of time - and doing FATEs until you get your item is indeed arduous and requires a lot of time... but not the right kind of time.

    at 6AM on Adamantoise the number of players doing FATEs was pretty low, but I am willing to bet there are tons of players doing them and now the FATEs are over so fast that you can't even get credit on some characters.

    No one asked for a Repeat of the Lightning Event.
