I am a new player, doing the relic quest and using my relic weapon even though someone in my FC offered to make me a white weapon which is way better.

Why? 1) I like the lore and quests. 2) I like the thought behind a relic/legendary. 3) I like the 'prestige' of having completed it.

People who only care for stats and BIS are catered to somewhat, although there are probably better games out there for you. Final Fantasy at the end of the day is kinda about the story and the content is there for enjoyment rather than being the best, although like i said, you are catered to as well in many respects.
I don't want to sound and do not intend this on a mean, but you said the key word here, you are a new player, anyone just started the game will feel overwhelmed by the content, and have fun, the story alone imo even though some people dislike it is one of the most fun aspects and one of the fun parts that I also enjoyed about XI and thought it was unique among MMO's, enough that SWTOR tried to mimic and it went horribly bad for them, but when you are up to date with the game you realize what's being complained here about atm as it stands right now, I doubt you'll trully understand the issues with the game unless you experience them. The problem is entailed on what you are supposed to do once you caught up with the content, ive played several MMO's and I gotta say FFXIV trully is one of the less attractive endgame MMO's ive played. Unless you are into glamour collecting of course, but if you are actively looking into ways to play your character to optimize, improve your play with your class, there's literally none other than just stack the best stats.

Also note, the current relics are nerfed, they weren't as "interesting or ok" to do like they are right now.
