Are relic weapons ever going to be useful?

[Goldhawk]

Atma's are work but very doable. I'm working on my 4th set (have 8). I have a StarDust Rod Nexus and a Artemis Bow Novus with 650 light at the moment toward Nexus. I also have a scroll for my Bravura (15/75 melds) and run a roulette every day for Alex. With hunts buying a map a day isn't that big a deal. I'm looking at these long term. The hardest part of the relic equation is the melding in my view depending upon the stats you want because of cost. Not everyone can afford the materia pricing.

Someone told me the ATMA drop rate was to be increased with 2.4. I don't know if that is true.

It's not just difficulty but longevity as well. Getting atma wasn't hard at all. I soloed every single fate (with the exception of people joining, but I could solo every fate I did and often times would solo them multiple times)

It's the fact that you put so much time, money and effort into making this weapon and there's a spitting image of it sitting in the coil right now that won't take me months to get. Just seems idiotic for how much goes into it and you just get a weapon that's exactly the same as another at every step.

Instead of creating these redundant and idiotic quests for us to chase for weeks at a time they should focus on making a good game. Seems like they're too busy trying to find ways to make a couple of pieces of gear take weeks, ensuring you keep subscribing but that's not the way to do it.
