Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[KyroeFelix]

I cant understand all the hate surrounding FATES. Sure it gets old, but so does doing side quests, leves, the same dungeon over and over. Did people bitch about Guild Wars 2 having a similar system to fates?

I don't understand this argument. As far as I remember, GW2 didn't rely on their world event system to upgrade your weapons. The only exception I can even think of would be the event to get into the Flame Citadel or whatever it was called. The events in GW2 were completely optional, whereas in this game if you want to upgrade your relic, you have to do the FATEs.

I don't have a problem with the current upgrade system, just a problem with this example.

I used it as a example of comparison to FATES in general, not the process to upgrading Atma. All I was saying is I don't remember GW2 events having the same backlash that FATES have had. Even GW2 had end game players go back to do low level events (not sure what it was for, but I re rolled last year and saw this happening. I guess it was achievement's)

There was no backlash because this content wasn't necessary for anything in the game. It was just a great way to level, unlike our current situation with FATEs and atma. Nobody has an issue with FATEs as a system; they are just mad SE put a really low drop rate on items needed to upgrade their endgame gear and this system is taking the brunt of that anger because it is involved. If SE had put the atmas in chests inside the lvl 15 dungeons and given them the same drop rate, people would be angry with those instead.
