What is wrong with people on the forum..?

[Fynlar]

I think the relic quests would have been far better received if they either came out with 3.0, or very soon after it. When people have already been in a "welp, nothing to do except the same old stuff grinding tomes until I hit weekly cap, things are getting stale, yawn" state for a long while (particularly the big 5-month lull between 3.0 and 3.1), the last thing people want to do is grind out even more old stuff they've already done. I think these people were meant to be appeased by Diadem in the meantime, but due to its various flaws that plan did not really end up working out.

Having to grind FATEs might have been a little more appealing if people could actually use the EXP, but as it stands, most people probably have the jobs they wanted to level up already at 60 by now (again, as a result of that long 3.0-3.1 lull)

All in all, I think the timing for something like this was not the best and that is why you're seeing the reaction on the forums that you are.
