The relic weapon quest is OBSCENELY boring...

So you rail at me instead of actually trying to apply my suggestions. Thanks so much for that.

I know what you meant when you said this was the only content. But apparently you didn't catch what I meant when I fired back that you are not being bound to finish your Relic. We know they're giving us something new in Heavensward, that they've promised is not nearly as bad. At this point I doubt the Relic for 2.0 is changing much outside of drop rate adjustments and maybe FATE spawn timers. So there's no point in yelling about it. It's just a wasted effort.

And maybe you can't craft your way to 75 Alexandrite. But you certainly can work on SBing for your Novus or Gil while you Farm for Atma, do your books, Alexandrite farming, Nexus Light Farming, Zodiac Farming, and Zeta farming. Fun note about that, if you happen to be trying to be doing Gathering and Crafting at the same time, it's basically a case where yes, you can just strap on some Craft/Gather gear and Spiritbind that for your melds. So really it can be used to keep you going without running on fumes, because at least while you're doing it you're for sure accomplishing something. Heck, it can be the background to you getting your SBing done for Crafts/Gathers. Or for grinding for Achievements.

I'm using Nexus light as my excuse to finally start Triple Triad proper. Now that I need to grind the content that can drop those cards I'm just running for the ones I'm missing over and over, it might not be fast, but each card I get is an accomplishment as I get my light.

And on the addressing that it's boring: It's a grind. Sorry, by definition you don't call things 'fun' a grind. You've got to learn to make it fun. I use the example where on my Nth-Hundred run of Haukke Manor I finally got fed up just doing straight runs at 2 am in the morning and just waltz'd around with the team acting like a real estate salesman. Team had a ton of fun and I cleaned up the commendations with lots of thank yous for the laughs. Something that never would've happened for anyone without Relic. So it's done some good.

I preferred the way they handled the original relic quest, difficult fights, some grind here and there, gets nerfed naturally through power creep. People complained about the first one being too fast and people selling clears. So beyond zenith is what we got from then on.
