Oh look, yet another thread of people whining about not enjoying an OPTIONAL quest.

Don't enjoy the relic grind? Don't do it. Think it's too much effort for too little reward? Don't do it. Go and grab one of the many alternative weapons you keep going on about.

I can only assume all the people complaining about the quest do, in fact, want their relic weapon. Why? What sets it apart from any of the other end game weapons EXCEPT for the grind?

"But it's too grindy!", "The grind has not been reduced to some arbitrary level that I personally feel is acceptable!".

Some people enjoy the relic quest line. Not everything has to be liked by everybody.
