I just had an interesting idea of how Relic weapons should be upgraded

You pretty much have to dedicate your time towards it rather than have it something you slowly obtain over time,

Sorry but this is exactly what you SHOULD do with the relic, slowly gain it over time. The problem people are having is they are playing catch up and starting it now that they have nerfed previous steps.

If you do your relic and keep it up to date as the patches come out, then it's not THAT bad (within reason, I know some people have bad RNG). This is the price you pay if you are playing catch up with content, you have more to do.

Now as for how BORING/RNG the grind is, that is something that I think needs to be addressed. The grind is real no doubt, but I don't think its unreasonable at all considering you get a high end weapon for doing no high end raids, so the grind in my eyes is fair. The actual mind numbing dullness of the grind however, is ridiculous.
