I would really like to see a source to this as I have personally heard that the new 60 relics will be easier to obtain than before (jury still out on upgrading). And with the THREE new classes, any player planning on playing one of them will probably not have access to a great weapon like everyone else.

On topic I agree it\\\\'s a grind (haven\\\\'t touched it but researched) and in my mind it could be done better at this stage of the game with the expansion close. Simplify it but keep the original for the HC Elite that want to do it the hard way. Though now more people are going to skip it anyway because: A. Heavensward classes, B. Perceived irrelevance
