you guys went overboard with this new relic

[Madjames]

Money is actually pretty easy to make in this game. It's easier than any game I've ever played. Crafters have to buy things just like everyone else.

Not the point. I have roughly 15 mil that I am saving to purchase three private small houses in the next week. I have made 40 mil from march of this year till now without a crafting or gathering class at all.

I do not care how easy it is to make money. I DO care about supplying crafters for overpriced stuff for a relic. These should have been able to be gotten all in game without relying on crafters, PERIOD!

I do not mind a time grind. That would have been ok. I am ok with t he alex grind, even the pointless, stupid, non- relevant old Poetics grind. I am NOT ok with on top of all of that crap that will take MONTHS to accomplish, I also have to make 5+ mil PER ITEM just for my relic. I would say 2-3 months worth of having to grind obsolete content + new content enough time put in to get a relic without the needed step of a crafter.

I make 5mil every 2-3 weeks. So how many items are there? What 4-5? Lets say 4 for arguments sake. Lets also be NICE and say all crafters will charge ONLY 5mil per item (We all know that these items will be closer to 10mil per item). That is 20mil gil to get. So again being nice and saying EVERYTHING sells on my 2 retainers and I make 5 mil every two weeks thats......8 weeks. So on top of the already 2-3 months worth of the initial grind I now have another 2 months on top of that? So roughly almost HALF A YEAR for me to get my relic.......Not acceptable.
(Disclaimer, I will NEVER craft in this game. Its lame and a sorry excuse for crafting so I refuse. Its boring and pointless)
