Manderville Relic Criticism

[Jojoya]

Thanks for proving my point. I will add that relic weapon is not only "the shiny weapon", it is somewhat a badge of achievement to represent through what players went to get it. That is why players target them specifically.

There are also augmented Extreme weapons, that are also shiny, but instead of grinding them, one can buy them outright from a Market Board or craft themselves.
If the player truly wanted "the shiny" - this is also a great option.

How do you know they don't have both because they consider themselves collectors of shiny weapons?

If you think the relic weapons represent some sort of special achievement, then that's the way you think. I can't argue that.

That does not mean that everyone sees them that way. I think of my friends that farm all the relics and what they say when they get them.

They don't say "I feel like I've achieved something". They say "doesn't this look great?!"
