Sorry, got a bit sarcastic there. The point I'm trying to make is that the things an MMO can use for their relics is limited. As your example shows, even the praised things other MMOs do are nothing new or different either, it's still things FFXIV did as well or at least in a similar fashion.
The range of different things to do to finish the relic step has never been so vast; but of course it's going to involve the existing content in some form.
While this is true, I can't be the only one wondering why they didn't design the relic quests more like they did the original upgrade quest? Fighting chimera, then hydra, then the HM primals....that was fun! I, and many others, had a blast. And while some finished it very quickly, most of us were stuck trying to beat ol' crag-butt for quite some time....yet once you did, you felt so very accomplished.The quests after that had nothing like that...they were just lifeless grinds, and you didn't feel accomplished at all. The same applies here. I personally won't do this relic, because I know myself well enough that I'll just feel empty and cheated once it's all done.

As for the time zone thing, perhaps; I've always been terrible at converting zones. But even though the post was directed at another, I'll still gladly recant my words about server activity. Still though, there are some very legitimate complaints on these forums (after you sift through the 'this game is gonna dieeeeee!' posts) that need to be addressed; hopefully in the upcoming live-letter, though I won't hold my breath on that.
