What's not fine is standing AFK next to an Aetheryte waiting for other people to pop FATES so I only tab back in, shout lfg, clear the FATE, then go back to AFKing next to the Aetheryte until I'm done with my relic. It's even worse doing the content the way it's meant to be done. That isn't fun, that isn't good, and I shouldn't be forced to do that to get my relic when I already have expectations set on ARR and HW relic methods being far superior.
Again you miss my point, this has nothing to do with enjoyment of the content on a personal level, not yours and not mine, you don’t like field content (though I find it hilarious you barely even engage with it then call it bad, pretty much the reason I instapull fates I prep in eureka) I do like field content, neither of our opinions matter

Square created grindy (by 14’s standards) content and made it overwhelmingly successful by tying a relic to it, then they made content in EW and didn’t tie a relic to it and it failed, why would square not tie a relic to their big content piece for the expansion (whether that’s field content or not in DT) when it can help drive that level of engagement (even if the entirety of the engagement of Bozja is not due to the relic it 100% contributed)
