Also when they tried to force people to run the old Alliance Raid to unlock the 5.0 relics, it wasn't very well received. The choice poison was between old Fate and old Dungeon, I pick the former because, again ... **** Ivalice.

So it's a balancing act, just simply attach a "reward" behind a content people hate to do ain't gonna guarantee a positive outcome.
So basically what this all amounts to is a good ol' fashion of "you think you do, but you dont". From my experience when I did the ShB relics and Bozja when they were still current content, me and a number group of people kinda grew sick of the content design and wished for something more simpler. While Shb relic grinds werent that bad, I can remember saying that I wished for the next expansion relic chain to be a bit more like the HW chain and lo and behold looks like I wasnt the only one the devs listened when they announced EW relic chain being more quest relative.
