And I was lucky.
FFXI relic trials takes weeks of points farming. This is still nothing and still an easy way to obtain a relic upgrade. I am still on my point, relic must be for 50-100 players per server, max. Or it's not relic but a common weapon. Well, they changed name now to Zodiac, deal.
Just because one game has a worse system doesn't make this system good. I honestly don't get that argument. If the only good thing you have to say about something, your only defense is, "well it's not as bad as this other thing".. then you have a crappy system.

It's also likely going to take people a lot more than four weeks to do the second step of the quest (13,500 myth tomes on top of a grind). So.. I'm not even sure time wise when you combine the drop rates some people are experiencing (which seems to also be around 2% based on what I'm seeing reported on various sites) plus the grind afterwards... it would be shorter than your FFXI grind.

I think you're also failing to understand what people are complaining about. I'll give you a hint, it's not the time it takes to get the weapon. It has to do with having the chance to put very, very long hours into something and have absolutely no sort of progress to show for it.
