Relics, if similar to FFXI's Relics and Mythics, are not meant for everyone. If the currency is rare/ex and it's supposed to take months to years to get as much as you needed then within a few years everyone would have Relics. They wouldn't be rare or unique anymore.

Exploitation of Linkshells happened in FFXI, and that was WITH currency that could be sold and traded. It will be much worse if it's made rare/ex because many shells will force these rules in order to complete the weapons faster because it would be the only way to get currency at a decent rate.

No matter which way they're implemented, if they involve currency people will exploit others. But it will be worse if exploiting is the only way to complete the quest in a reasonable amount of time.
I still do not see how making it rare/ex could allow people to be exploited, sorry I am probably missing something really obvious here ^^

But the way I saw it was that as you kill things, it drops and goes straight into your Currency inventory, how could a LS leader exploit it? They couldn't make everyone give them the drops as it goes straight into inventory not loot list.

Though you make a good point in everyone having one in a few years, but maybe with the Level Cap increases coming every few years then the ones that truly desire them will have it upgraded to the next stage before that happens so they will always be that one step ahead.
