For me it has its good and bad aspects. You have to play always that class if you want to go as quick as possible (bad thing.) More people are playing content they didn't play before (good thing.) You can take it easy and do what you like and it will go up too (good thing.) New people may get carried in speed runs while they don't keep up (bad thing.)

I would like some challenge added different than just something that takes a long time. But it's much better than atmas of course, or farming myth for the books when myth were much harder to farm. It's difficult to make something challenging without it being too difficult for the majority to pass. Remember when Titan HM took maybe weeks to do because finding a group that could pass was so difficult. I liked the first part of the relic when it was challenging (now you meet overgeared people everywhere, great for new people to catch up.)
