Skos: What special treatment are you babbling about? I think most of us who enjoy grinding for something wanted one damn thing to be left as it is since everything else already is in your favour so whats really the problem?

Ashkendor: welcome to the club I hae 6 zetas. Everything else in this game is already adapted to todays market. Do you honestly think someone is going to be like man this Zeta grind is too time consuming so I'm going to quit the game because I can't get a Zeta? That sounds a bit farfetched don't you think so yourself? The new quest didnt have to be new at all it could have just been something that could continue on and expand your weapon from i135 and make it stronger. Thats the whole point of this grind and it should have been left as it is.

The problem is that you fail to understand how expansions work. Old content becomes completely obsolete in 99% of the cases when an expansion hits. If you want to continue grinding for your beloved relic weapon you can do so when the patch 3.1 story arc hits.

But hey, in a few months you won't even be complaining about this anymore, no, you'll be complaining that Alexander Savage is too easy with i260 gear or something like that and that Yoshi P. is babying the game because of that.

I don't know if this is off topic but, will Lucis for DoH/DoL get upgrade too? It's gonna be useless if this only for vanity stuff.

Relics are nothing but glamour now. There's no point in keeping them ridiculously difficult to obtain when they're no longer relevant.

I had a High Allagan weapon back when T9 was still a major blockade for most players. I don't care at all that people can go in and undersize it and faceroll it for the weapons at this point because the weapons are outdated. Having one was nice back when it was one of the best weapons you could have, but now that it's not, I don't begrudge other people the right to get them more easily for glamour. I can still be proud of my own accomplishment without feeling the need to attack other players for not getting their weapon the "right" way.

It's the OP again.

Yea look its that one guy who complains on a daily basis yet he plays the game everyday still. If you really can't stand any of the things the dev's are doing why do you keep playing (to Skizzle)?

Do you really understand what it would mean to grind out the relics steps as they were when they were current and be doing it now in 3.0? We aren't talking about the same grind we all went through, not even close. If new players today, or even old ones wanting to re-do it, were to do the relics steps as they were at their time of release, what we did back in 2.0 era can't even begin to compare to what they would have to drudge through and all for a vanity item.

"Want that shiny glamour sword? Come with me on a walk through hell."

"What?!"

"OH yeah, sorry when I did this I only had to walk through the big scary jungle, you get hell..sorry!"

"But it'll be worth it right!?"

"Well no, I did it for power! ....you get it for the shiny effect!"

".....wtf "

I'm laughing because he's still here after his 'why should I play' thread.
He's the new Akiza! And you know what's funny? Even Akiza realized it and
called him his apprentice and now he takes the flames of the forums or something lol. xD!

It seems that the devs (and most of the players posting here) are in disagreement with you. Do I think someone would quit over it? Not really. Do I think people would avoid doing it entirely? Absolutely. If there's no point in the reward, then the grind is simply for the sake of the grind, and that's never a good thing. It had gotten to the point where it was long and involved enough that it was unwieldy to make relics for alt classes, not to mention it was very daunting for new players to look at the enormous amount of work they had to do. I'm honestly glad they are taking the opportunity provided by the expansion to "reboot" the relic quest line.
