I don't think this guy is a doom-sayer, guys. He's not saying, "We're losing players to the Relic Grind OMGWTFBBQ"; He's asking if we're losing players who are interested in persuing the relic quest, making the weapons more rare and if this is a good thing or not. That doesn't necessarily mean the players are qutting.

For the answer to his question? Yes. The Relic is becoming more and more rare, in my opinion. And in the wierdest way possible - rather than people thinking it a good way to get an alternative weapon, people are now thinking, "Eh, I'll get my Tomestone weapon wtih the next tower."... Making raid gear more casual than the RNJeezus Grind.
