Why are people complaining about the relic nerf?

[Esp]

Another problem is people believing the relics so far have been "challenging" as if it was some sort of raid tier difficulty thing. If that's the case, then hell, the Yokai event might as well fall under that category.

Relic is just time consuming. You don't bang your head against anything to get it. Just do the same thing you have been doing everyday, and it's yours. So yea, no idea why folks are upset with it. If you did it when it was recent and current, why worry about anyone else's progress?

I finished the 240 portion quite a while ago and was casually doing another, and I was at the 70/80 mark when the patch hit. Now I can think about doing two relics for the price of one? Yay xD

Now a day gamers(the new gen) want everything handed to them on a silver plate and it bs.

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.

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.

The game is easy enough, keep some things grindy and hard. Rewards don't feel really rewarding if you nerf the hell out of it. it's a freaking mmo I expect things to take awhile.

I was one of the raging ones but it went only like 5 minutes.

Personally, the main reason I don't like the nerf was because I was in the middle of getting my items that cost very expensive and I have paid almost 4 million gils to get 3 sets of them. The last set would've took me another month as I'm not someone who trade very much and therefore, I'm poor or broke most of the time. Most of my gils come from dailies.

I was really fine with the decrease in tome grinding for the unidentifiable stuff but it hits me really hard when they nerf the HQ items down to the ground by removing the HQ requirement and putting it up for sales in GC. I could've saved those 4 million gils and bought something for my FC house instead.

Yes, the 210 step has been there for 9 months and I knew it was going to be nerfed sooner or later but I didn't expect this much of a nerf. I was ranting a bit in my LS and some people said it was my fault (I agree with them) and that I should've expected something like this. Yes I was angry at them but I was angrier at me wasting the money.

I feel so bad for wasting 4 million gils that I could've saved if I have just waited for a few months. *sigh*

Next time SE releases another relic, I'm going to wait a year or so until the nerf hits and THEN I'll go get it.

While it might not get all of your gil back, expect a few people that gave up on this part of the relic to start doing it again. So you can take those upgrade items and put them on the MB at the mere cost of GC seals. They should get gobbled up as you still need 4, and HQs no longer matter xD


Again, won't get all your gil back sadly ^^

To those who spent many hours and weeks grinding to get their relic up to now and are legitimately upset that things have been nerfed, people having an easier way to get the weapon does not dismiss your achievement, please do not let it get to you.

This^^ So much THIS! People, understand that players like myself who have yet to even start a relic can never say the same as you when it comes to acquiring said relic. And players like me, have the upmost respect that you went through that grind.

Some people in my FC couldn't understand why I insisted on gathering x100 NQ/HQ logs and rocks for my gatherers despite the requirement being lowered to x30 for your supra/lucis tools, and I told them that this was the old requirement, and that is EXACTLY what I am going to do. I will simply spend the excess on cordials, but I wanted the same grind. I wanted to say the same thing as the players before me, and I will still do it with these relics as well.

The whole run to the relic was absolutely insane.
What they need to do is make the Relic interesting. How about do Bismark/Ravana/Thordan/Primals EX
or something like they did with the old Relic?

Plus, they nerf crap to the firey grounds anyway. Those of you who did go through the entire process, mad respect.
But now you can obtain them for other jobs easier, and other people can catch up.
Win/Win.

Could be worse, they could have nerfed the 230 step

Please don't give them ideas..it's not even difficult to begin with.

Wait.. there is people complaining about this? You gotta be kidding me....

Seriously.. just leave the game if you dont like it...

[Hanayumi]

Wait... people are seriously complaining about this? They've been doing relic/anima nerfs for years now, like everything else in the game, so this couldn't possibly be a surprise. Even if you manage to get past this step right before the nerf you can't really be complain, like I said this nerf was seen from miles and miles away... Just be pound you put in the work to get it before the nerfs, its an accomplishment, you did what many other could not, so stop complaining and get working, cause the next nerf is already on its way and you want to show off that next new weapon.
