Manderville Relic Criticism

[Toutatis]

It's an MMO. Players should not be entitled to welfare handouts of weapons. Accomplishment should actually mean something.

This idea that getting a weapon in an MMO should necessarily be subject to an unhealthy grind pretty much reserved for people who are either obsessed, on welfare, living in their parents’ basement and/or addicted to gaming is ridiculous. There’s no accomplishment with long grinds other than showing that you have way too much time on your hands and not many interests and/or responsibilities in RL. Personally I would feel ashamed to hold all relics since inception.

The (paying) gamer base has aged, many have jobs, families, responsibilities and can’t carelessly and stupidly spend all their free time grinding a weapon that will soon become obsolete. The new system is fine. Those who want to invent themselves an ARR type of grind can do so. I like that I can finally get a decent weapon (it won’t be BiS until a few months before 7.0) for different jobs in a reasonable amount of time. Don’t care about what others think of what my chars wear, I play for myself, not for strangers.
