I agree with the TC. It somehow made sense back then when i100 weapons were still somehow relevant...but right now, if you compare the amount of work and all the stuff you have to put up with Zenith-Atma-Animus-Novus with 3 weeks of soldiery + a silly tomestone from ST + some silly sands from ST too, the difference is insulting. You can get an unweathered weapon maybe playing 6-7 hours. Zenith-Atma-Animus-Novus...I don't even want to give an estimation, and the fact it is an upgradable doesn't make up for this current BRUTAL difference of effort.

It's about time SE starts nerfing the first parts of the relic quest, they should do it too for new players to give them a slight chance to catch up and have their own relic.

I suspect SE doesn't want to nerf any of it before Ninja is released soon and SE probably thinks Ninja's hype will make people farm atmas back again and that's going to keep a lot of people busy...which is a good thing for SE.
