Do I hate the new relic step? No. Do i think it could have been better? Absolutely. As much as I would have loved a new zone to go into and farm out the relic. They clearly listened to feedback about last grind. No one who values their time wants to run alliance raids 15 times to get to a different step. I would have loved to explore a Eureka/Bozja like zone to get my next weapon but honestly I've been having fun with the new Deep Dungeon. I would have liked farming the relic in there but since the later floors require a fixed group I understand them not doing the grind in there for the solo players.
