Anyone else extremely disappointed they made the relic a light farm again ?

I'm glad the Pneumite could be done with poetics/lore/GC seals. As for the light farm, I've been spamming PVP because I want that GARO stuff. So I've just been doing both at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. So since I have two goals I'm working on it's made the grind tolerable so far. I'm already on the second symbol and it's glowing a decent amount. At this rate it won't take terribly long, especially since I plan on getting every GARO item.

Guess it just helps to keep in mind that its a 'relic' quest and 'filler content' which is ment to suck up time between patches. And considering some of the stuff we've had to do for past steps....light farming is cakewalk easily. Be careful though...bitch about it too much and Yoshi'll tell us to get our next upgrades from random drops off bosses in Dynamis: Uldah......and 1 drop per raid. No...no I'll stick with lightfarming.

He could make it so that you have to roll against other players too, god that would be a nightmare.

Would be nice if there were at least a better way of measuring the gain and progress. The vague descriptions of Light Gain, the obtrusive chart to measure progress, and the utterly uninformative quest checkpoint node... none of them give any solid context for how far you've actually progressed.

Oh well, guess we just wait for someone to figure out the system and write up a spreadsheet detailing it again.

During the first light farming (novus?) someone wrote a tool that gave detailed information how many light was already farmed.

I'm not happy that it's role restricted. We should be able to either use multiple roles or be able to do more than one relic at a time. I don't understand the restriction because the light awarded can be based upon the relic equipped. It complicates duties with friends who are doing the same role as you and this isn't a short term quest.

I'd rather they do it IN game though. SE is notoriously stingy with information. I'd rather the quest log specifically detail how much light we gain from each activity and how much we actually need rather than the anima glass, that would significantly improve the experience for me at least. Or at the very least put all that detailed information in the actual patch notes. Same thing with the pneumite phase, just tell us in the patch notes, "this quest will require an item that can be purchased with Lore tomestones, Poetic tomestones, or grand company seals."
