What is wrong with people on the forum..?

Oh and lastly, I love how people are unsubbing because of relics. I dont know what they expected really.. How about instead of a grind SE just hands them out? In all honesty would you guys like that better? :P

Can people please stop using this line as if it excuses SE from being lazy developers? Is it too much to ask a developer, who I might add helped to revive 1.0 from the grave, and has been responsible for many great innovations over the years, to actually think about what they add instead of throwing in mindless grinds?

Anyone who can't see why people are complaining are blatantly blinkered to the obvious. This isn't a one-patch complaint. This is a multi-patch complaint. We've had the same thing in every single update since Heavensward. Heck, Heavensward itself didn't really offer anything particularly new in terms of mechanics. Just new zones to fight across, and a continuation of the story. Flight is about the only real 'new' mechanic we've had aside from mini games, and that doesn't really change much since there's little reason to revisit the zones aside from gathering.

Can we all at least agree that this isn't just something people decided overnight? This is something which has been growing and festering for a while, and people are really getting fed up of being offered the same thing over and over again. Gear is stale, with only item levels to distinguish between shiny sword one and shiny sword two. Sort that problem out, and they'd have already breathed a huge new lease of life into a steadily ageing game.

tl;dr: This problem has been around for ages, and it's only getting worse with each update. It's not new.
