"Coming into its own" is too much!

[Neophyte]

But 90% of a patch cycle insist of doing 'the same runs I did before'. You get 10h doing something new per patch, the other 100h+ is just repeating content.
Either that or stopping until next patch.

If you get your relic in 10h, what would change regarding the time you spent in the game having fun?

You have your relic, but still 2-3 months until new content. And now?
