While it would be cool for Relic Weapons to be less grindy, it's either that or tying them to high-end raiding content... raiders already bitch and moan when their raid-earned weapons aren't the best available. If they just made it part of the narrative everyone would have one and they'd end up... y'know, less special.

Either way, yes, we're all monsters for going around and slaughtering sentient beings to power up a weapon, then have the gall to complain about beastmen summoning Primals to lay waste to our civilizations. Sig.
