While i agree with the OP, i don't see how SE could do this and still promote gil buying. I mean, look @ everything SE has done the last 6 months. Vanity items are top tier crafts needing something like 389 craftsmanship? Which only allows people to charge rediculous prices for such items. The new blue bikini set on levithan nets about 3.5 to 4 million because of the rareity of it. And besides, the RNG in this game is soooooo bad, 98% might as well be 70%. I'm working on Animus now, but if this doesn't get changed, i'll just not go to novus. Even as is, this relic doesn't seem worth half the work going into it. When i can get alternates that are the same damage with much less effort.
