A positive thread about the relics.

Positive, is making me unsub.

Thats 22 USD which is a good AAA game on discount or several indies/bundles per month, damn, its even somekind of special/elite status on other MMORPGs. Thanks anima questline!

Im curious why this questline is making you unsub. You aren't required to do it... the weapon isn't better than what we already have available. So what about this questline is making you unsub vs before ? I could understand if it was like ilvl 220 or something but its not.

Well, you got a point. Its not the questline itself.
Its the whole patch, and the trend that is +2 years old already. Here a more developed answer: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post3483245

This quest is just, the strawberry on the cake.

I imagine it's just the straw that broke the camels back.

5 months into 3.0 and up to 3.15, we've really been given very limited content. Most of which is a 100% copy-and-paste from 2.0, this relic quest is a chief example of that.

Between the cost of the expansion, and the limited (uncreative) content that's come out, it's just not worth the cost anymore. That's what it is for me, at least. I'll cut my loses and (maybe) come back when they actually start adding new content, rather than just rehashing old mechanics and putting in content-padding relic quests.

To help with the thought, for me personally, none of the relic stages ever made me feel, "man I have no desire to do this grind". I didn't mind doing lights cause guess what, they made it so that you could optimize your playtime by following lights and doing the best run. Doing the books was also not that bad, some leves, some trash mobs, some dungeons done. Each book you turned in increased the strength of your weapon so you actually felt like you were making progress with each book complete.

When I look at the last stage of this current relic it's a jaw dropping reaction like "Are they serious" why is it so high? This is nothing compared to the options in 2.0 and if this is the last stage for the current relic what hell will come after? They are already throwing at us 80 items gained through Alexander/Beastmen/tomes/allied seals/etc, and 16 HQ items that are crafted by 4 different crafts that need to make 4 HQ each what's after that?

When you have something that looks like it should be in the finals stages of the relic and not the start then all you can feel is dread thinking, if they think this is reasonable then what's next 1000-2000 from the next alexander/tomes run? 50 HQ items that are made with unique mats from each craft? It's the excessive requirement from the first set of quest that just kill my desire to even carry on because if they plan to make it this tedious to complete, I don't look forward to what comes after.
