"Coming into its own" is too much!

If you want the relic. Grind it out. The 210 stage is still relevant to the grind. The effects of the difficulty are cumulative. You can use your i230s instead of your i200. In that sense the grind is slightly nerfed. I don't see them directly nerfing anything until 4.0.

EDIT: if they were going to nerf something about it, I would decrease the number of Alex normals needed, since the content is less relevant now and harder to solo queue.
