OP here. It seems a few people in the thread have brushed over the majority of what I said and are just throwing the same complaints out we have had since 2.2 launched.

So to elaborate on my original post, if you bothered to read the whole thing you will see that I was complimenting SE on the introduction of open world content in general, not just the Atma fates. I suggested the implementation of other systems in addition to FATEs, aswell as proposed ideas for other types of open world content.

The point is this: The new Relic upgrade quest might not be exactly what you were hoping for, you might find elements of it tedious, but if you cannot recognise SE's willingness to try new approaches to delivering content, and attempts to listen to the community, then you will be in part responsible for every new patch being nothing but a coat of paint. Instead of frothing at the mouth and yelling in all caps "THIS SUCKS RNG AW HELL NAW!" then why not stop and make suggestions of how SE can make better open world content?

If the majority of you get your way, SE will just close the lane off altogether and you can go back to complaining that there isn't any reason to leave Mor Dhona.
