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

[Kaurie]

Well obviously you don't. That's not to say they aren't. Stop projecting YOUR OPINION on everyone. The fact is that relic has been very well received from a player standpoint doing it. I suppose you need to take a poll to find out but you really don't know now do you.

They didn't? All they said was that not everyone doing the relic actually enjoys it. That is true, not every one does. I am sure some do.

It's funny, because every one I know in game is totally skipping or holding out on the relic. I can't even find 7 other people among my static, linkshells, friends and FC to join me in Alex to farm some items. I actually haven't been able to get 1 person to join me. Everyone has differing experiences though.

Coil drops law or poetics depending on which turn you complete. Ravana and Bismarck Ex drop law and older Extremes drop poetics. There is already a midcore solution to your problem. You don't have to do a single Alex NM or hunt or daily quest or map.

Also I'm a bit surprised about so many people bringing up Hydra and Chimera. Did doing 2 trials once really make much of a difference in the grind from base relic to Zeta? Bear in mind, Garuda, Ifrit and Titan were not relic-exclusive content just like Alex NM isn't either.

You know you make a good point, law and poetics were a great way to encourage people to use other content to obtain items. I know many people are unsyncing coil clears for this reason. That said, the reward and speed of grind should not be slower for this method. Unless you have the bonus, it certainly is slower. They could either do this by upping the poetic/law reward from these, or adding another way of obtaining items. I think using the systems and tokens in place is a better method (i.e. 5 RavEX/BisEX tokens = 1 item, 5-10x Carbontwine = 1 item, 5-10x Carboncoat = 1 item, 25 Alexandrite = 1 item etc.) Note: They would need to make carboncoat/twine not load on unsynced parties, or find an alternative method of incorporating this content.
