And who exactly are you to dictate what's meaningful or meaningless in a MMO? maybe you and anyone like-minded need to adjust your mentality and understand the world does not revolves around you, this game caters to a wide audience and 99% is cater to 99% of the community having 1 piece of content you won't be able to clear because YOU don't want to put the same effort they did isn't going to make it or brake it to you, this is content aimed for those who wants the challenge if you don't like challenge then go do something else in the rest of the 99% the game has to offer, sorry you fail to understand how hollow it feels when you accomplish something only to have it be gifted the next few month, That's why I stopped doing relic in this game, what's the point of spending ours upon ours upon ours grinding this piece of pixel for it to later be able to achieve for half the effort I had to put to get it? to have it an extra year before anyone else? what does it matter now? for the shinnies? how many people cares or uses it after the expansion release? is meaning less and achieving it means nothing because I can just wait a couple of months and do it when it takes half a week and achieve the same....if the world worked like that any achievements means nothing.
I don't know how old you are neither I care but boy/girl I hope get ready when reality hits you.
