Relics coming to an end?

[Krr]

I was a newbie in April. My first lvl 50 job was bard and I got the animus for it. My Novus was for whm that I had saved up atma for from the original grind back when it was difficult. I was slow on the Atma book grind and got Alexandrite during. I didn't even get my Novus until the first few days of 2.4.
So alt relics can come into play when speaking of newbies. What I have done isn't so crazy.

That's true. I apologize for being harsh.

However, it's factually untrue and misleading to tell people that "alexandrite isn't so bad" because you saved it up for an alt relic using a former main relic that you made months ago. First-time relic pathers who stick to their main won't have the option to gear their first job as quickly as you geared your second or third. Few relic pathers would even imagine switching main relics once they got past the extremely expensive animus step.

Newbies didn't have months to save up resources from "When atma was new and hard". Newbies don't have a full kit of roulettes unlocked for months. Newbies reached level 50 a couple of weeks ago and are still spending another week sitting in queue waiting for their dungeons to pop so they can unlock their HM roulette and are scraping together sol to inflate their ilvl just to participate in anything. Being new in 2.2 isn't anything like being new in 2.4 - the amount of content bloat to catch up on is absurd.

New in 2.4 is much, much different than new in 2.2.
