Things you DON'T want to see in Stormbringer..

That would be negative. I did 2 HW relics (BRD and DRK) before any of the steps were nerfed (and 2 more before Umbrites and beyond were nerfed—never finished WHM but did finish AST), and I would rather have that. It gave me a reason to go into older content—I’ve barely touched Roulettes this expansion outside of Alliance when I was leveling my jobs and Expert for capping. Sometimes I do Raid Roulette for funnsies, but I never touch 70, 50/60, or Leveling hardly anymore.

If they want to add Eureka 2.0, fine—I don’t have a problem with that. But I would prefer the relic kept out of it.

No offense to you personally, but I wish people would stop using "relic" to refer to both ARR's and HW's long-term weapons.

ARR's was "relic", but more specifically it was "Zodiac".
HW's was "Anima".

Anima was MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better than relic to get. It was still somewhat of a pain in the rear, but much more tolerable. ARR's relic was absolutely, horribly, ridiculously terrible, and I think is primarily what Ritsuko is referring to. Anyone that claims ARR's relic was better to get than Eureka never got their ARR relic.

And to be frank, Eureka is MUCH less of a pain to get than even HW's Animas were.

The bottom line though, is this: Relics/Anima/Eureka weapons are never going to get easier or less time-consuming to obtain. That's the entire point of them. They are meant to be absurdly long-term goals.
