FFXIV's structure is simply not built for FFXI's relic system, it is simple as that. How do you accommodate people jumping into the game? It is hard enough catching up on the current structure. How the relic chain is done is fine, it is how they scale the difficulty is what the issue is.

It is fine if the relic is catered to casual players. What is a problem is that the team doesn't believe that casual players cannot take a little challenge. It only tests your patience in waiting than skill in the game.

The team instead of motivating players to challenge themselves, are breeding and catering to players who do not feel compelled to get better at the game.
