Square Enix should retire the relic quests with Endwalker

[VerdeLuck]

Previous relics weren't handouts you had to work for them and actually do/run content not just your daily roulettes for 1500 tomes which most people do daily anyway. Endwalkers relics were handouts. At this point in endwalkers i would rather have the various grinds arr and heavansward relics had us do rather than what we have now. There is no grind or achievement in grinding daily roulettes for a current relic other than making it super easy to grind with poetics next expansion which will make it even easier to get. We already have tome weapons we can get for 1500 tomes and doing the normal 8 man raids for the weekly thing it drops for an equivalent ilvl weapon.

Really? Getting a relic from doing 50 or so Fates isn't a handout but doing it through however many variant dungeon clears is suddenly no longer "working for it"? Doing a dozen or so clears of current Alliance raids is no longer working for it?
It's just laughable to say that mindless fate spam was somehow "less of a handout" or "meant anything", it's just contrarianism and MMO boomer stuff to say that old=good and new=bad.
these were never hard to do, there was never any working for it. It was an annoying grind in the past and they listened to feedback to make it less annoying.

The removal of one time steps was some of the best parts of this one as well. Having to do a grind, getting 0 reward from it other than the "right" to start another slogging grind was not fun. In the current steps they listened to feedback and there is no part where you think to yourself "this sucks why am I not getting progress towards my relics?", if you're doing level 90 content, you are getting at least some progress given towards your weapon.
