What is wrong with people on the forum..?

[Nominous]

even going so far as to accuse the devs of lying and going back on their promises - which they didn't, at least not in this case -

But... they explicitly did just that.

"The Zodiac questline didn't accurately reflect the time put in to your weapon. Next Relic/Upgrade weapon will be made so that time invested=power."
"Learned from 2.0 Relic."

-> Months worth of grind for a weapon that will likely be outclassed on 3.2 release. Not to mention, hours/days of grind, none of which increase power at all, or accurately reflect time spent.
-> Proceeds to remove the ability to customize relic. Why? Because apparently being on step one means we don't deserve something we know we could have. Gotta reset the good ole' playing field right?
-> Literally does nothing to evolve the quest whatsoever. Literally a carbon copy of previous relic.

Live-letters have talked about this tons of times in the past. Relics have been hot-topics more than once, and almost every time they mention having learned something about their community not liking a part of it, and how they'll take that into consideration. Or how this or that design philosophy should be applied for the 'next' (now current) relic weapon.


So yes, they did lie to people. Not only that, they don't need to state anything or lie, in order for the playerbase to be angry. The fact that they're literally, point for point, copying 2.0 in almost every conceivable way is enough. We aren't worth the hassle of creativity, it seems. Also, the cherry on the top is the sheer amount of tedium, and the fact that it was delayed, when these weapons are already on borrowed time.
