Does SE want to us go back to WoW? Because this is how you lose MORE players to WoW.

We're not saying the grind is unfair. We're saying the grind, for the reward given, is not worth the effort. And as difficult as AS4S is, you can not deny that part 3 of the relic quest is one hell of a serious grind.

Personally I'm not even complaining about the grind, the grind is fair, its the crafting portion that is overkill. I can manage the grind, as it is slow but quantifiable progress, but the crafted items are a huge gate, and the specialisation means that it is impossible to get on your own. The solutions are find other players willing to craft these items for you (all 32), or have 15+ million gil (not even taking into account the other mats you need to get), and for some players this is not viable, let alone fair, and the reward is definitely not equatable.
