Make relics the best weapons 100% time

My bad. I stopped reading when the flame wars began.

No worries, I know where you're coming from. It isn't a pretty sight.

The furthest I've gotten to is the Animus phase. Simply because I'm quite lazy. I do take my time to do the quests though. I'll get there eventually. However, whether or not the relic quest line can be considered 'casual' is still up for debate. I do think that it's a mix of both. The one thing I do notice is that a lot of players treat the whole relic quest as some sort of competition of, "who can get the latest upgrade tier in the fastest amount of time," and quite frankly, it's not nice to see.

OK, edited thread with some info to open mind to some people:

I like the idea of the alternative you've suggested, but I don't think this would really solve the problem we are currently facing. It probably won't change the stance that the relic should not be tied to raiding and you would have more people arguing against it for the sole reason of content being locked out by difficult content. Sure, there is an alternative, but a lot of players would possibly be against that option. I appreciate the sentiment that there should be more options, however, I don't think these other options should be tied to high-end or difficult content. You'd get the whole Titan HM fiasco just like when the game launched because it was deemed too difficult by most of the playerbase.
