Relics quests are not needed to revive older content. Roulettes do that already. All relic grinds did was force players to do older content, which they complained about high and low, east to west. Now for some reason they want to do that?

For ARR, obviously you had to do current content since it was the base game after 1.0. But even HW relics grinds threw you into current content, even having to best the Warring Triad once again in order to finish it off. Relics started becoming less and less relevant along with the release of more expansions. Even in ShB where players could do Bozja, had alternatives to run old content if they wanted to do it that way. They made a big blunder here considering players could farm memories with a 100% drop rate from HW FATEs. They had to increase the rewards for instances like DR just to get players to run the damn thing after they completed it the first time.
