you guys went overboard with this new relic

Or is it that a grind is a grind no matter how long or short it is and will continue to be bashed?

For me and some of the people I've spoken with/seen express their concern (which I realize isn't even a fraction of the community) it's not really the grind it's self. It's the amount of grind for the very little reward. The stats alone make the grind not worth it and then factor it in with how fast he kills content/gear. It's just really silly how this was done. If he plans on keeping the item relevant that helps a bit. However he really needs to add some more impressive stats.

I just dont understand.

Why does this require poetics and crafting at the very end? I have no intention to ever craft at all, like ever. I also never plan to pay someone some outrageous price even with an FC discount/friend discount for said items. I also do not plan to run something that is pre-expansion crap just to get outdated tokens called poetics. So I guess I can say thank you SE for at least screwing me out of the relic.

Ok so I need to do fates, grind alex for pieces, I need law which I have but what about Poetics?? Wth is it requiring those outdated things for?

The last part wants HQ items that are from where?

The HQ items are from red-scrip gated, specialist-only crafting recipes; and you need 16 of those HQ. So uh....save up. A lot. And since you're not going the beastribe route, you'll need approximately 54,480 poetics. Only. Have fun!

No they aren't? you get MC3 books from blue scrips, i don't see where you get red scrips from.

Honestly - the developers need to react quick to this one. I think they broke the camel's back with this one (people are beyond pissed).

There needs to be an emergency maintenance and the requirements need to be drastically reduced. They need to do this before some poor soul exceeds the revised requirements.

Nope, I am done. I am refusing. If others get it, great. I am not paying 5mil+ per item. Sorry but it is not worth it. I can dungeon grind all day and night and have fun. I can grind fates and have fun.

I will not however support overpriced crafters charging and arm and a leg for one item, let alone 16 of them. Requiring crafting items without ANY OTHER way to obtain them in game is what killed this for me. Thanks SE, you not only require outdated non-expansion crap called poetics, but you also require us to again support over priced items from the already rich crafters. This almost makes me want to unsub. Thanks but I will spend my 15 mil on three small personal houses instead and be happy with my ilevel 200 eso daggers.

Last I looked, crafters were never required before to gear out my character and I will never support a system that makes that so. Unless of course you plan to let crafters make the best gear in the game. So thanks SE you screwed me over.

Dear Square-Enix,

take your "new" relic-weapons with you and let them never come back again!
This is nothing more than dumb and pointless grinding!

Talk about killing the content.. I wonder how much time was spent planning and developing lords of verminion.. I haven't checked it out, don't really plan to, but I don't know how much of the playerbase did (or plans to), but now that everyone will be neck deep in the relic grind..

Relics totally should have been more important than verminion ._.

Who wanted to do extreme trials or new trials? 800 Alex, encouraging people to buy from gil sellers, bot fates, law and poetics farming, 1 million allied seals, 1000 beast quests, now that's real accomplishment worth of a legendary item.
