The Relic grind is extremely casual. It takes a long time, but it's still casual and in no way, shape, or form "hardcore". Which is fine; it's not supposed to be. It's sole purpose is to give people too casual to raid a long term end-game objective to continue logging in and playing (see: continue paying) for.
