The problem is they chose a resource that is shared between multiple different things in the game, making it obnoxious to deal with in a lot of regards. Crafting materials that need tomestones and the materials for upgrading the crafting armor both use those tomestones. And when someone says that we get to choose what content we are doing: So basically Roulette and hunts? I guess if you are max level maybe you just coincidently get a small amount from pvp.

What makes relic grinds typically better is when there are steps you can do while you are sitting around in PF waiting for groups. Thanks to the DC travel and how they engineered this relic the FFXIV experience has been pretty lackluster after probably patch 6.1 or 6.2. I can't really remember when it hit since it has been so long.
