Are relic weapons ever going to be useful?

Sorry "Get Good" is SO OLD. "I" choose to play solo. "I" choose to earn my own weapon without a FC/Raid team. "I" choose to upgrade my self earned weapons. END OF STORY.

It's not really self-earned. You still have to do dungeons which requires a party.

I feel more rewarded getting a good item with friends, than by myself.

I felt good about myself getting the blm armor in 1.0 with a hard quest, than it being handed to you in 2.0.

It's the same practically as relic vs Coil gear. Both get replaced fast with each major patch anyway. So go for the one you can obtain quicker, which is coil.

Sorry, it is Self earned. Solo Q'ing is Solo play. "I" had to do MOST/Almost all steps SOLO to finish this quest. Coil is pointless to " Me" It cant be done alone. Please read "Cant Be Done Alone . I'am unwilling to work with others. "I" feel others hold me back. "I' like to make my own way in the world. I like the Relic Quest.

And to say it's quicker to get a T13 weapon is a farce. I suspect most saying it haven't cleared T13 let alone farmed it for a weapon. Yeah the relic quest is neat. So many do it for a reason. So many don't do coil for a reason as well and most are those who don't want to have to make a commitment to a static and play weeks on end to clear that content. Only a very small portion of the community have cleared T13. No one in my circles has and a few have only recently cleared T9. The've been doing coil forever and have worked very hard to get where there are. I wish them the best of luck when they get to T13 with drops they'd like to get. And most if not all of them are also doing the relics as well.

Enjoy your Zodiac, I know I am.

Makes me wonder why you play an MMO if you don't like playing with others. If you think they hold you back, when they potentially get you a better item than you could alone.

I play soccer by myself too.
I always play goalie, and I'm the best because no-one has ever scored a goal on me. Ever.

Yeah Coatl! That's the attitude I wanna here! And we don't even need the help from our 125 relic weapons, (hmm which seems to be the best weapon you could possibly do the T13 fight with) nah we don't need em, lets get this one shot down quickly, so we can beat him 30 more times and pray. {Party} {Can I have it?}

Warning, obtaining weapons of these powers takes time with a little luck of the gods from Eorzea! Your time within the realm will increase ten-folds!! May their light shine upon you, warrior of light!! May your powers forever grow into something so special it takes 40 steps to get it!!

Get good to do that? Waste time? T13 is easy, but the gear goes obsolete too fast, making it pointless. What am I going to do with it..more T13? Please. It's boring. Until they fix the gear progression in this game I am done with 'raiding'

Not everyone likes to waste time, but thanks for offering, I guess?

I'm fine with not wanting to do Coil, that's everyone's choice but I don't see how the Relic Questline is any different. You do a bunch of old, obsolete fights a few hundred times along with some other RNG or grind based mechanics and boom you have a weapon that was obsolete before it even came out. If you want long-term gear relevance you're playing the wrong game, gear in this game is relevant over the duration of a patch cycle - not the game's lifespan. Relic only surpasses "raid gear" when the Raid has been deemed to be aged content, like with Nexus vs. High Allagan Weapons in the previous patch cycle. Similarly you see the i110 to i115 upgrade in Shiva after Second Coil became even older than on Shiva's release.

Also you fail at understanding the person you were quoting was being incredibly sarcastic.
