Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Mitternacht]

It really makes me laugh that people are crying about this, one day into it. Obviously never played FFXI. The 75 relics weapons took YEARS to get. YEARS to farm and save the MILLIONS of gil to buy the items!!! If you want some instant gratification go play some FTP/PTW game.

Just because one bad thing is not as bad as something else doesn't make it good.

Given how they want to throttle progression on this and only use existing mechanics there's not a lot of options in terms of implementation. However having made it say, do 50-100 FATEs in twelve different zones would still have people complaining (about grinding) but at least when someone spent time on it they'd have something to show for it. Also, the RNG is a terrible throttling mechanic since obviously some people get really really lucky and finish in a relatively trivial amount of time (there's a paladin on reddit that completed Atmas in only 10~12 hours) and some people get really really unlucky and may not see all of them two to three months from now.

Telling people to go to a F2P game... skewed lottery mechanics and insipid RNG grinds are the hallmarks of said games.
