Yoshi - Players who "Like" Challenges would ALSO like to obtain a Relic Weapon

IMO, the relics don't get good until you can customize the stats, but then they start becoming more and more useful compared to the raiding drops.

So, yes, the steps will always be tedious, that's the nature of Relic quests, but the rewards will eventually be worth it. At least from a gaming perspective. If you don't need a super-customizable bleeding-edge weapon by the end of the expac, the relic is not for you and you were not the intended audience. Instead, wait for upgraded tomestone weapon.

SE can't win either way. If they did this people might complain they bought an expansion to grind 2.0 content or something.

I'm not suggesting taking away alex as an option. If they want to grind the 3.0 content incessantly that's their prerogative. Just that if you gave people lots of options, a larger percentage of the audience would be happy. Eventually the only ones complaining would have nothing meaningful to say but 'the grind is too long'. To which SE should (rightfully) say, deal with it.

I agree 100% with the concept that people will always complain, lol. If people wanted their relic to be in interesting quest with tons of dev attention and new content, it would be a MSQ DROP. There's not enough resources to essentially make a side-quest with the attention to detail of the MSQ for the relic, there's just not. Relics are grindy and repetitive. The people complaining about that...meh? Haters gonna hate, I guess.
