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.

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.
