"Fun comes first"

[Dyvid]

Because there is nothing else to do? Because it gives the BiS weapon for several classes? There's a few more reasons, and I can say in game that every one of my LS's and my FC, and the shout chat in multiple zones are filled with nothing but complaints. It's poorly done content, stop white knighting a company that doesn't care about you.

K, when you use terms like "White Knight" it just means you have very weak legs to stand on for an argument. Now lets get to the brass tacks of it. Before today people were running daily dungeons, Alex for alts, Beast Tribes, Primals, and VA/A:S/Dia. Today people are running FATEs, dungeons, Alex, and Beast Tribes. The only real difference is SE added a long term grind to the content we're already running. So the real question isn't whether relic grind is fun, it's are you having fun actually playing the core game?

Now I"ll be the first to say Anima Weapon is a missed opportunity in both horizontal progress design and limited amount of game content to use. CT, Coil, Treasure Maps, and Hunts are some of the chances they had to get players involved in more aspects of the game. They also should released it with a big patch and add new systems for relics like Diadem.
