New Relic step is great

[St0rmy]

This relic weapon step is good. I don't know why people are complaining.

It's easy enough to gather the first few materials. It barely costs anything on the marketboard with how much people are making. The 300k gil item is barely a gil sink. Gil is pretty much worthless in this game unless you: own a house and are decorating it or are doing week 1 raiding and are paying someone for armor.

The roulette step afterwards is nice. I do wish there was an alternative method in OC especially with the upcoming phantom jobs but I still do my roulettes daily (albeit I don't do high level dungeons this gives me proper incentive to do them) so this works out fine for me. I don't need the weapon asap. It'll be something that completes itself in 10 or so days. Part of me almost wishes that the roulette step was required for each weapon but afiak it goes to the 1.5k tomestone after this, which is a nice for subsequent weapons.

I'm not sure what people expect. Devs can't seem to win. Either there is no grind or it's too grindy. The only bad thing is this step is missing inclusion with OC.

Because they simultaneously want something challenging, but only in the things they want. They asked for something harder and the devs delivered, so now they are complaining that it's not fair and it is too hard because they neglect crafting/gathering and how dare Squeenix try and make them do content. (that last bit was sarcastic).

The devs are damned if they do, damned if they don't. Nothing they do or add is ever good enough for some of these people and the ones who act the part of contrarians are often the loudest minority on the forum and on social media.

Please stop adding to the disillusionment that this relic step is hard or challenging in any way and that's why people are frustrated. People are mostly frustrated because it's just roulettes and or they have to spend gil.
