Relics are too easy to get

[Zumi]

Just got my "Armed to the Teeth" achievement today for getting 9/9 relic weapons. Now this does feel like an achievement I spent quite a long time doing it.

Nice work

Can no longer differentiate skilled vs non-skilled by their gear. I couldn't agree more with the OP.

Gear have never been a proof of skill.
At most, gear will indicate how much you play, but if you've ever been in a real hardcore guild, you've carried your burdens to great gear and you knew their skill were just average at most. When you try hard 6days a week, you sometimes HAVE to accept that extra healer/dd/tank that's not as good as you wish.
This may be wrong for the very few top guild doing a real tough selection, but they are rare.

This being said, I agree that relic is not what hardcore player will call an achievement, since as a very casual player I should still be able to get it before 2.1.

Who cares? Relics in this game are not like RME in FFXI. They are not intended to take forever or be difficult to obtain. SE expects your average player to obtain a relic for jobs they play.

Just got mine as well, and there is a sense in which "i did this, cool." But mostly i feel like "annnnd i just did doznes of extraneous dungeon runs for the sake of paying for relics." I HAAAAAAAAATE hate hate hate hate the 900 stone requirement. But hey, never again I suppose.

Until they release new jobs.

So you hate doing dungeons ? do you like crafting ? Maybe even mining is more for you

Gear have never been a proof of skill.

In FFXI they were, most of the times.

Show me a player who finished CoP (back then when they were still capped) and didn't know how to play its job.
