Relic Weapons-Broken Promises

[Churchill]

The point is not simply that something requires a speed run but that drop rates are not consistent to all players (Similar to relic melds) and that there is no progression aspect to running dungeons.

Like I said earlier, people would be much more comfortable spamming content in PUGs (Allowing more of the playerbase to experience all the game has to offer) if there was a 100% drop rate item/KI that could be turned in for any piece of DL gear. I can run with my LS, get good drop rates because we got a 17/25m run, and I can make progress with shout groups who may not SR but can still clear.

You're right, removing speed run as a way to get specific gear is an easy fix but it's by far the last thing on the list of "what's fucked up about this event".

*nods* I will have to agree. The 100% token drop rate on Garuda was a beacon of light, so we can only hope that 2.0 will bring more and more progression and consistency for wins, even if it is only a little ^^

They have definitely over looked an aspect of relics in the form of materia availability. I would not be surprised to see an adjustment of materia creation rates, though I do fear if anything they will simply decrease other IV's to match that of our most sought afters.
