I'm not saying you should "enjoy" the grind in any way - but if you dont enjoy the playing this game like the devs intend it to (because yes, you are supposed to do content to get the rewards, go figure) then dont?
This step doesnt has to be nerfed to meet the requirements of someone who doesnt want to play the game.
You're making this step so narrow for yourself btw - I actually thin its good that the relic requires you to do actual content as DoW/DoM - because thats what you're getting the weapon for (or what it is intended for). Its not for your miner, its for your healer, tank or dps and should be earned as one of those classes.
(I'm already looking forward to your complains about the light step now...)

I promise you: It will get a whole lot easier with SB, so if you're only in for the quest, why dont you wait for that?
(To put that in perspective: I'm doing a ARR-relic atm and I'm at the anima-book step. Those books were at 1.500 poetics, now I'm paying 100)

As Faliandra pointed out correctly: Those weapons are a grind and not locked behind difficult encounters so everyone can eventually get them - to make sure that even the most casual player can get their hands on one of the best weapons in the game. And yet you come here and complain that it isnt casual enough because it requires you do to a dungeon a second time? Sorry, I really have no sympathy for you.
Wait for SB and for the relic to get nerfed even more - you can even quit the game until then if you dont like playing it in the first place...

(PvP queue times, specially in The Feast - matches are lasting 8 minutes max, rewarding you with 20 lore - are far from 30 minutes nowadays btw)

Maybe my problem with your complains is that I really do enjoy playing the game... still not super excited about a grind, but hearing thwi kind of whining ("wääähääää, I have to do something that I dont wanna do!!") from someone who doesnt need the weapon really makes me itchy - you CHOOSE to do this content...
To be completely honest, your post sounds whinier than any of mine have been. I'm not even the slightest bit upset over the existence of the step. It's just "Oh, well this isn't very fun. I'll tell Square and hopefully they'll make it more fun in the future." For something as innocuous as that, I get the pleasure of listening to you denigrate me for having the audacity to not like something in this game. If someone is being unreasonable here, it isn't me.
