This is where you lose all credibility. For many, being mediocre is not an option. For any player that plays this game beyond crafting and has any intention of being taken seriously in a raid, the Relic quest is not optional. For every 1 person that the Relic is optional to, there are 5 that it i mandatory for. You cannot devalue their desire for a balanced quest (Effort+Time=Appropriate Reward) because of your war against "entitlement". As it stands, the reward given does not equal the sum of effort and time required to obtain it. Whether or not it's "optional" in your view does not change this.
