How about this, we get the relic for Eureka 2, and you get the consolation prize weapon you're trying to palm off on us?
Or, instead of trying to piss off a particular playerbase we go back to earlier in the thread and entertain the idea of having multiple ways to work on the Relic.

That way Eureka players can still work towards it without it being the sole way to work on it.

With Eureka having its own "Consolation prize" unique to it in addition.

Or is it too upsetting to allow other people access to your favourite toys without having a tantrum that after being catered for by having the Relic locked behind your content and your content only that other people might still want to have their Relic from content they enjoy?

The Relic has been a focus of my gameplay throughout 2.0 and 3.0. The only reason it hasn't been my focus in 4.0 is because it's stuck behind content I abhor. Why? So people who like this niche content of Eureka get a shiny they can feel good about, at the expense of everyone who previously liked collecting Relics through the means at which they collected them previously.

Logically, it should go back to 2.0/3.0 ways and have Eureka stand on its own merits.

However, that's not particularly inclusive. So why not have multiple ways to farm towards a Relic. Or at the very least, have the Relic require multiple types of content so that everyone ends up having a stage of the relic in content they enjoy (At the cost of having some stages that they might not enjoy).

You know, thinking about others instead of crying about how you NEED to have the Relic from your favourite content and wouldn't be happy with anything else by calling it a "Consolation Prize"?
