I think most old school players will agree with what somebody early in rhe thread said. The relic quest line is the only long term super investment Ala FF11. This I'd what makes FF stand out from all the other easy mode MMOS. lall the other Mmos are typically just get to cap raid and pvp. FF has so much more and that's why I love it. If anything we need more long term difficult content. Yoshi has already said our relics are going to be relevant in Heavensward. This hint should be enough to realize that leveling your relic won't be for Naught. I currently am using the 110 soldiery Liberator on my Drg taking a break from Animus farming but I'm glad it's still there for me to do.
