In my experience the haters yell loudest which is why the forums are constantly so negative OP.

Don't worry not everyone hates the relic quest. I understand their annoyance and anger but I don't know what they expected lol.. its relic.. it's always been grindy and taken weeks/months to finish steps unless you have infinite resources and there are just some things you can't make magically appear without the passage of time.... like runs, tome farming, beast dailies so on and so forth

They just want it handed to them which makes no sense to me. It's the relic.

If you don't like the grind then I suggest seeking your main hand elsewhere. I'm also not trying to be a white knight but i'm also realistic and I know that every step of the previous relic was just as annoying, hard, grindy, and bad in previous patches at their launch. Yes things got easier to clear, obtain and were nerfed... but when they first came out? I don't think so.

Relic is something to obtain over time not have handed to you on the first day.
