Question for the people who don't dislike the 2nd relic step

[DiaDeem]

The Saga of the Zodiac Weapons didn't start until the Atma step

It's still a step for the same relic at the end of the day, and you know this. Why are you moving the goal posts? OG and Zenith Steps were purple weapons, they were always called relics and are relics. You're coming across as dishonest with this one.

Sure, you could skip it with a Zeta weapon. Although I doubt you could do the first step in "a few hours"

You could. Those drop rates were always rather generous.

Except there's only two major patches left

You know they can still add long steps within that time frame, right?
As to "wait till it gets better" I never spoke about better or worse with you. You first addressed me and you did it discussing quest length, not quality.

Length doesn't equal quality and the topics have nothing to do with one another. Fighting Chimera and Hydra was way more fun and interesting at the time than farming 60 HW FATEs for Resistance, but the FATEs certainly took longer.

If you wanna talk about quality, I fall somewhere in the middle, as I think there's positives and negatives about just farming astronomy, and all I know is that while this step is hardly the best, it's also far from the worst they can make.
