Done!

Honestly the RNG part SUX.

You should be thankful. When MMOs first appeared, drop rates were around 0.01% for cool items about two decades ago. These days, 1-5% is considered hardcore...lol.

SE slowed SBonding in Dungeons not sure why

We had to carry individuals who came in several pieces of SB'ing gear. It's not very fun when people SB at the expense of your time. Your trying to get thru the dungeon quickly when someone else is making you work extra hard so he/she can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

SB has been changed so you can't force others to SB for you, you have to do it on your own time or with others who are looking to SB.

it shouldn't be a crime for those who have 3 free hours a day to also want to squeeze in watching a TV show or two into that, either.

That's not my or SE's problem. If you want to spend that 3 hours watching TV then feel free to do it. but don't complain about not having the time to do something else. You're the one managing your time

The only point I agree with the OP is about having to camp fates for the relic quest (not everyone is unemployed and likes/can afk in their basement while watching series). That's indeed dumb. The rest of his complaints are however not valid imo.

[Ametrine]

The relic quest is boring, grindy, expensive, and too hard for me to handle. Nothing about the questline, beyond the expanded lore from the initial phase of it, has any sort of appeal.

So, I opted to take a few of the numerous alternatives for high level weaponry, like PVP leveling, primal drops, and Rowena's tokens.

See, i posted about this before. Relic quest is boring. Only completionist and elitist are continuing to do them. The whole point of a game is to have fun. Now yes, it is a choice, and I can understand that the OP feels like he is paying sub fee to be able to enjoy every aspect of the game, within reason.

I only got one relic weapon, for BRD, past atma stage, before nerf. I had farmed one crystal for a damn week, 4 to 5 hours a day before i got it, That's not fun. The RNG was stupid.

And a lot of the community need to realize that we are getting these expansions, patches, etc at a good clip because of the player base that we have. And a majority of the player base are casual or a step up from casual. Its because of them having fun and paying for their sub that we can have decent servers and such. Why would you want to tell people to leave and take their subscription with them baffles me? What if SE said, "hey, this game is for hardcore players, everyone else should go play something else?" My point is that if you enjoy sitting around for +2hrs staring at a screen waiting to do something, more power to you. But just like you feel like you have the right to defend a part of the game that you enjoy, others have the right to attack that same portion of content. And I'm attacking it because IMHO, its dumb.

I've been playing games longer than many people on here have been walking the planet. Its not fun to grind doing nothing. When it starts to feel like a job, its not a game anymore. And these people saying " oh for end game content, you need to watch videos, take an exam, fill out a resume to join a raid squad" etc, etc, you need to wake up. I should't have to watch a video to play a game. Its not football. Its not film study. I learn better by trial and error. I wonder what many of you players would have done in the 80's and 90's, before cheat codes, before internet videos, before automatic save. When games were really challenging.

Stop alienating people from a game that's supposed to be played with others. Damn, if you want to be all big and bad and strut your stuff, go play old content, look for newbies, help them, mentor them, help them to ENJOY the game. I'm tired of going into DF and getting the person that wants to run through stuff, even when the damn game tells you that someone in the party is new. That's disrespectful. The way a lot of you act is why we have so many issues in the real world. People thinking once they get to a certain place, the people below them are expendable, no names, not important. The game wasn't just made for you. And it sure isn't your world, so stop acting like it is and everyone else just lives in it. That's my rant for today. Lol.

If you played for 10minute everyday since 2.38 came out, you would still have your nexus by now

I can say with full confidence that this is complete bull shit.

1) Normal relic, amdapor keep takes longer than 10minutes.
2) Atma, even after the nerf, you won't get a atma every 2-3 fates.
3) As if someone can magically go online the moment the fate they need pop up for animus, and oh yeah, dungeons take longer than 10 minutes! Also soldiery farming.
4) Alex maps take some time, you need the money to buy materia OR the time to SB. Still takes 2.5 months if you're lucky to get novus.
5) Nexus needs what, 1500-2000 lights? A run gives like 4, and any garu/ramuh/ifrit/shiva takes 1-2 minutes. Will take you atleast 3months for nexus

In the end I've looked at it from your selfish point of few with the fastest PC components around and using the fastest SSD. Oh, and massive server hacks to make everything go the way you want.

I'd actually be fine with that if we got cool items. Instead we got Atma that upgraded a Zenith to a Zenith +1.

I was talking about going from novus to nexus. If you didnt have novus by the time nexus came out then idk what else to tell you because you had plenty of time to do it.

The relic quest is also 100% optional. If you don't enjoy it, you don't have to do it, as there are multiple other options for getting perfectly decent weapons. In fact, if you're a casual player, then you really don't need a relic-- the soldiery/poetic token weapons will more than suffice for 95% of the content in the game. The relic quest is there for the people who want to dedicate the time towards getting it. It doesn't require the ability to beat high-level content (unlike the BCoB weapons/Shiva weapons); all it requires is a time investment, thus making it an option for players of all levels who wish to do it.

Nothing is forcing the OP to get a relic weapon. That's entirely his choice.

Another content locust bites the dust.
