Its been almost 1 week, and this was finished yesterday. Thats pretty fast, and I, personally, am about halfway done with mine.

That means that hardcore players who toughed out the grind were running around with lvl 210 weapons within a month of Savage's release.
This goes with the first part which is, while it took them 1 month to grind out 210 weapons, it took 1 person 1 week to do a relic. So yes, it is early. No one would get esoteric weapons if they could skip it to go to 210 with relic, plain and simple, its part of the treadmill.

And Other people can make friends just as easy as well, wether it through free company or other means.

I never said you couldn't voice your opinion.

It might not directly affect you or me, but at the end of the day, I feel like people aren't trying hard enough. Make friends, work on making gil, start a crafter, level a gatherer, spiritbind. There are ways to make gil, small server or not.

What i'm trying to say is, you need a better argument.

Player - "I don't like this because its hard to get these items due to my lack of gil and friends"
Dev - "Have you tried making friends or maybe tried your hand at crafting or gathering?"
Player - "I don't do that because I don't like it"
Dev - "What about maybe spiritbonding or doing all of your weekly roulettes, and guildhests? what about the challenge log?"

See where I'm going with this?
