"Coming into its own" is too much!

. . .always nice to have a hard to achieve goal

You know, I felt the same way with finally clearing Titan HM and getting my original bow, the Extremes, and with T5, 9, and 13.

Mind you, I know many who both raided and worked on relics, and more power to them. It's fair to say that it's all a matter of perception. Some feel it's worth the time invested. Some don't. Some are even in between or undecided. I've stated my stance on it as well as some of the more easily glossed over details/truths about it, but I definitely want to combat the idea that people who complain simply want it handed to them. They could nerf it all tomorrow and I'd still opt out. So let's please not approach this with the mindset of "Well I like it/don't mind it, so it's fine. You just want things handed to you."

Nidhogg EX would like to say hi. Nice to know you don't like the 210 step in the game. Not everything in the game needs to cater to your likes and dislikes. There are people who hate crafting. Should crafting be changed so that it accommodates these people? There are people who hate tanking. Should tanking be changed to suit these people?

You want a challenge, go do Nidhogg EX. You want an even bigger challenge? With your Nidhogg EX weapon, go do M4S.

Unfortunately, this response is pretty par for the course. "Fine! Go do hard stuff!" Sure! I would absolutely love to. Win or lose, I do feel it's time better spent, and that's just me personally. BUT! Does that mean the 210 step is perfectly fine as is? Or any of it for that matter? No. And I have no issue speaking up about it. Obviously, many will agree and disagree with points made. But are you to tell me that those who have issue with it simply don't deserve to speak up about it because they, by default, "just want things handed to them"? I mean really, is THAT what you're saying?

And please, don't argue points like "Not everything has to cater to you! " I like to raid and PvP. Possibly some of the most unpopular content in the game. Just don't even. Whether it caters to anyone or not, if there are glaring issues with it (and I'm not the only one saying it, believe me), why shouldn't someone speak up about it?

You like the relic quest as it is. Good for you. I don't. I'm not here just to rain on the parade at all. No. I see issues with it, most of all, an example of where SE simply chose to settle for par when they could've done better. If I say nothing, and anyone else who sees it says nothing, that's basically saying "This is fine."

It's not. It never will be.
