There has never been a relic grind that has ever been fun. Each relic can be cherry picked apart on why they weren't fun. Bozja on the dev side, was supposedly such a failure that they hap hazardly ended it and scrapped the third zone we were supposed to get for it. Now all of a sudden there's demand for aggressive relic grinds despite history showing that a bigger portion of the community was against them. I think relic is one of the few pieces of content where SE devs are, "Damned if they do, Damned if they don't". I'm hoping this 'voice' from the community only exists because the rest of the content is equally unsatisfying, but I've been around the block enough to know that even if EW had gone perfectly, there would still be complaints of field content.
