New Content vs Grind --> Animus Weapon

[NeoBlueFalcon]

I understand (partly) why SE does this: Get people who haven't cleared alex regular to clear it, more people queing for stuff, more people doing it. Time spent in game.

Problem: People are going to use PF to make an A1 with 6 dps, 1 heal, and one tank, and kill it before split, ergo, no new folks getting a clear, and the point of the whole exercise, out the window for the most part.

Please put some new content in.

The relic quest was always meant to keep recycling old content to help new players, starting with Fates for 2.0 atma. The reason why some PF groups are resorting to what you mentioned is because the grind is absurd even by old relic standards. Hell, some veteran FFXI players are pretty upset about the anima grind. If one were to only farm alexander for the tokens, it's 800 total runs, at 200 per floor, to get it done. It's a lot of time and patience to sit through all of that, so they may not want to deal with mistakes.

exactly... SE exaggerated this time with the grinding..., waaaaay exaggerated, its mindless and even unhealthy..., even if there was enough other things to do, and this grinding was ment only to do "en passe", its still madness...

and my main is BLM, the 210 BLM stats suck... (and the glamour too...)

SE seriously has to chang this fast.., before others get p1ssed that they didnt change ealrier and they grinded soo much, when its gonna get easier.. (cut the amount of unidentifiable objects needed in half... NOW!!... or they gonna risk many just taking a break till the next update..)
