Can something be done about light farming?

[JigsawComplex]

I know I'm in the minority that didn't grind out all their Zetas before HW dropped, but I have an ask that I need to put out there; can we PLEASE nerf the light farming portions of the relic quest?

As is, 2000 light is just stupid to get. CT runs almost never happen anymore, and if they do, they are a train wreck. That leaves most people to farm their 2000 light via running Hard Mode primals at the rate of 8 to 16 light a pop.

And as for the Zeta portion, while not as bad numbers wise, all of the totals are half of what the light portions give.

Would it be possible to nerd the Nexus farm to a less (incoherent scream) number like 100 or even 500? And would it be possible to farm all Mahaatma at once to breeze through it? I mean, it's the home stretch, and all of this is for glamour and what will most likely amount to a head nod about how much the 2.0 relic grind sucked.

TL;DR: Chain running this content is driving me nuts

short answer no

If I'm not mistaken they have already nerfed it once. or was it twice?

[JigsawComplex]

The last nerf they did at HW launch was them in the mindset that people besides sprouts would be running this content. I can't speak for other data centers, but CT runs don't happen anymore, and I'm finding myself teaching 2 year old content to people who go in blind.

I know it's me being grouchy, but 8-16 light per hard mode primal (which is what most people run to farm light) is just painful now a days. It make sit worse that you can't get light if you're unsynced.

And even though the Zeta phase isn't as bad, you're getting half the light gained for a total of 480.

Lets be honest, all the relic weapon content after zenith is a tedious pain in the ass(I'm working on the book segment. Kill me), especially now that most people aren't doing the stuff that still necessitates a group. Short of gutting vast portions of the chain, there's not much that can be done to change that, nor do I think they see much need to; it's old content, you either grit your teeth or give up.

I would just like to point out that despite being nerfed, it probably takes longer to farm light than it used to since it's nearly impossible to PF it for Garuda spam.

[StrejdaTom]

It has been nerfed twice already. For people who want relic, they already decided that the new relic will completely skip the old one. The people who have the old one (including me) will get only a little benefit.
So the short answer is HELL NO, it is already nerfed to the ground. Sorry.

I recently made a new relic for my WHM before new one comes out. I got 3 stages of lights (Indistinct > Faint > Slight) just by doing fates to lvl up in Hinterlands, which give Feeble lights (iirc it means 1 light) but I recall they doubled the amount of lights you get, plus I don't think I've got 600 lights from fates, they probably also reduced the amount of lights needed from 2000 to 1000. My biggest problem with Nexus is that 3.0 content doesn't give lights at all (not even PvP), and I'm stuck running old dead and boring content that gives nothing else.

Honest question: does running a dungeon as a level 60 using the uncapped option still grant Light? I'm guessing not.

I think it would be best just to let unsync parties get light from dungeons. It is so bizarre that you can get ponies, cards, and atmas but not light from dungeons at 60.
