Please stop making Eureka

[Reynhart]

Yoshida has stated that the relics were made for players who do not wish to raid, who wish to play solo, and who wish to get a high-item-level weapon without having to do difficult content such as raids.

I clearly remember the bold part. Do you have a quote for the rest ? Problem, the "current relic step" you mention was exactly one that you had a really hard time to do "solo" considering you needed Diadem ingredients, and the 8 crafting specialties. And that at that time, the tome weapon was already available for everyone without having to do "difficult content", and was on-par with the Anima.
