So there's some imbalance now without that longer questline and some manner of grind.

Also, Nezerius, it was entirely possible to finish all the relics if you had the classes leveled even in HW. People would grind them all out. I was happy with my couple for my main classes but I had friends who did them all. Steps were still a decent amount of work even if you were just working on a single one.
I would enjoy having arr and hw type grinds back where the grind lasted for almost the entire patch.
