One could say a game forcing you to interact with certain systems isn't good. I hear no one say the ARR relic grind was good or fun. The only really difference is current relics let you do whatever you want to get your relic. I'll take that over the God awful books/light farming of ARR. I'll take that over the eventual boring tedium of Eureka style Zones. I personally can't call EW a lesser in that regard.

I feel like we should clarify that you cannot do anything you want to grind for the current relic, you have to do things that will award the right kind of tomestones which right now is only EW content and roulettes. You cannot, for instance, grind for tomestones for the current relic in Eureka or Bozja, or even FATEs in older zones.
