Why are people complaining about the relic nerf?

[Lulu89]

They need to stop making it easyer to get and just make rreilc gear better then or = to raid gear, so we have something to look to, and be happy for. Now a day gamers(the new gen) want everything handed to them on a silver plate and it bs. I'm ok with Tomes being easy, day to day farm..

But we need something to stay hard and just as good as raid gear out side of raiding. Most of the gamers now a days never played EQ and FFXI when it toke a year to gear out or LV up. You have it easy, that y ppl are pissed. All the work we put in to it don't mein crap after the nerf.

The relics need to be something we can run all over with and be like yea I got this! Right now relic are just a, "look what I got" and 12weeks l8tr 1/2 the servers got one in 1week after nerf....yaa -_-

Have you considered that not everyone here wants to treat playing a videogame as a second job? Not saying they shouldn't require some effort to obtain, but by and large these complaints don't stem so much from entitlement, so much as expectations as to what they want their games to be. Can you at least respect that?

So don't treat it like a second job, run an hour a day and you will still get your relic. While I don't have an issue with the relic nerfs, the "second job" attitude is entitled, as you expect that the game will give you the same rewards for less effort because you can't play for reason XYZ and you expect that the players who got the rewards the hard way to respect you because "I don't treat the game like a job"

Fair enough, but you are kind of misinterpreting my point. Players are a diverse breed and nobody really as the right to dictate how much time a person spends on a game, aslo assuming the reasons involve "entitlement" or a desire to be hand-holded is a completely narrow-minded viewpoint that rarely ever engages the people you are arguing with and comes off as being dismissive.

Remember, this game is still a business and for a business to stay afloat - it has to stay on with the times.

Some concepts of EQ and FFXI might've worked back then but alot of things has changed and businesses needs to be constantly evolving in order to survive. As someone mentioned here "a MAJORITY just waits to get their relic"

If that majority just started leaving then the game would inevitably shut down. I highly doubt a few individuals' $200 a year is enough to sustain a game this huge.
