Relic being tomestone step AGAIN is incredibly depressing

[Gwenkatsu]

I for one liked the Tomestone grind in EW, it was the first time I ever had a FF14 relic in my hands. Guess what? I'm not going to bother with OC or a rng grind, just not interested in wasting my time waiting for a drop that will never happen.
So no matter from what perpespective you see it, the relic design in DT does not make any sense at all. The more grindy people see it as "yet another tomestone grind", and people like me will not even bother with it.
Seems they found another way to make every player unhappy at the same time. Which again poses the question: Who TF is DT made for?

I get the point of view, however. Relic has, as you stated, always been a grind. Its always been the content you historically can spend 100s of hours playing and still have smt to do. And sure, if they want to make the change to "you can complete all relics with barely any effort" as their new design, i think that is just depressing.

I've been playing FF14 since ARR & the only relic weapons that I have obtained were from EW tomestone grind; actually obtained 4 relic weapons. I did the demiatma grind for this new relic in the FATES & it sucks. I did get all 18, but it was boring, long, & monotonous. I don't mind grinding, but grinding has to be productive & efficient. That first stage, in my opinion, was not. Getting 1500 tomestones is easy but they need better options.

The problem wasnt the length and it being monotonous, it was the feeling of not getting progression. Too much dependant on RNG making it feel bad when you have a bad streak.

If it was 6x50 atmas with 100% drop rate it would have been significantly better as now you see the progress taking place.
