The relic weapon quest is OBSCENELY boring...

[RichardButte]

I wouldn't say boring..

I dunno. To me, if I can do something 90% asleep and/or drunk while also watching netflix, it's not engaging me and is therefore boring.

Not that YOU said this, but a lot of people don't seem to understand the difference between "challenging" and "tedious". If it has a skill check, meaning that you need a reasonable amount of competency as a player to accomplish it, it's challenging. If the ONLY thing separating you from achieving whatever it is is TIME, it's tedious.

There were some things that were probably even more grindy than this questline in Aion, like grinding up piles of Balur parts, but you did it in the abyss where an enemy player could jump you at any moment so it DEFINITELY wasn't boring.

You know whatever it is is boring when getting ganked while doing it might actually IMPROVE the experience...

To be fair, I've done a number of hard mode and ex dungeons drunk / asleep and still made it through healing them.....Take that as you will. Bad quest is bad though.

Ah, but were you Netflixing at the time as well?

IMO, healing the Midgardsomr fight is the minimum level of challenge tht any fight should have, including the between quests for the relic weapon (if there were any, I mean).
