Mister, you are missing one part of what the Relic quest really is.

Look at every single piece of content currently avaiable on XIV. Now look at the relic quest.

See the similarity? That is their entire point, by not just completing, but aceing, every last bit of content this game has, you are rewarded your Relic. That is the design space of relics, the prize for the ultimate conquering of the current game.

So any idea for changes in the relic quest that contains anything short of that, I cannot take seriously.

(okay, I admit that some of the portions of relic might be frustrating, a lot of it can also be unreasonably bullshitty, which I would be okay with some changes to as long as it remains being the ultimate reward for doing exceptionally well in every single bit of content the game has)
