New Relic step is great

Explain how you arrived at that conclusion.

A grind would be needing to spam specific duties or fight specific bosses and etc. Doing your roulettes once a day, which is what a lot of people do already, isn't a grind. It's their daily chore.

The point of contention people had with the EW relics is they were a boring tomestone grind while you simply did roulettes and got one with zero effort. This step is literally that, but dressed up as something else. And then it becomes actually that anyway.

Crafting was required for the ARR and HSW relics too, and it was way more challenging to find someone able to do the crafts.

It is probably easy to farm a few FATEs and sell the bicolor gemstone item on the mb then use the gil to buy the dark matters. Just doing the daily roulettes will earn ~100k gil not counting the "in need" bonus. At the rate the material prices are falling, I am not sure how broke the hypothetical player who does not have the gil to buy them would need to be (less than 50k players at level 100 from what SilverTayunn said, I have no clue how this is possible but I remember someone begging others to teleport them around so...).

And if they do not want to do the roulettes, they will be stuck at the next step anyways.

Another Duty Roulette spam slop.

Pass.

How is anyone suppose to believe 8.0 is going to be any better when these uninspired, uncreative Devs keep pushing out phoned in, garbage content.

Does roulettes on not max level character lowers bonus?

It's a big "F U" to anyone that doesn't really get into crafting and gathering, though. Shadowlands is not the blueprint you want to follow with relics.

It’s strange when you can also just buy them on the market board, if you have the money.

I just don't understand why there is no option to do anything from this relic step in the occult crescent.

You need a drop from the final boss in the FT. 35% drop rate btw~!

The crafting is the good part of this relic step, if you don't have crafters leveled, the Market Board is right there, or just get a friend to help you out, it's that simple.

Pigeonholing the entire process into roulettes is what sucks a lot though, there isn't even an alternative, it's roulettes or die.

Not everyone is as miserable as you are.

I couldn't agree more, but is that all you've got? I do love a good word tango, so bring it, flower.
