My comparison was really about the time involved. I dont think i ever once heard someone complain about the time/gil sink from xi Relics. In fact it was so difficult to achieve that it eliminated the possibility of a large portion of the player base from ever getting. But still, no one complained. SE makes it possible for ANYONE to get these zodiacs, with a bit of TIME involved and people break out the torches and pitchforks. As well my comment to FTP/PTW was that you are allowed to just waltz on in, buy the best gear (with your cash) and get to work. Which is apparently what folks want, because they don't want to invest any time into working for it.
