I agree with this. The relic has always been just one, of many, ways to get a solid end game weapon. I've never understood the rage against it or the process to get it. Right now I believe Hive, Heavenly, Alexander, and Esoteric weapons are all solid options for an end game weapon (and any of those would work well for most players, who don't engage in high end raiding) If one option doesn't suit your needs one of the others will. If a month or two working on the Anima weapon is too much for you, pursue a different weapon.
