Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

relic was known since 2.1 is dev tool to help new players and grind

Live report from FF XIV forums! This is Laurelin Kementari for Independant News, here to give you an update on the developping situation concerning the 3.15 relic discussions! Latest report suggest that forum member Hellboy-sa made a dive towards the point but missed it in an absolutely spectacular fashion. The point sailed over his head and was last reported going into orbit around Jupiter. We will continue to monitor the situation and bring you the latest developments! This was Laurelin Kementari, back to the studio!

uhm, hellboy is right

back in 2.1 everyone complained that the relic is too hard, titan too strong, only elitist can get it, why cant we have a grind to settle fair conditions?
there were tons of threads and complaints about the "too high difficulty"

thats why they made every step a grind + it revives old content

Live report from the danger zone! It seems the missing of the point is caused by a form of disease that is apparently contagious, as it is spreading and has already claimed another forum member by the name of ServerCollapse, who's failure to grasp the point was per chance even more spectacular than the one only a few moments earlier, as well as several other unfortunate souls. No authorities were willing to comment on this new development and SE continues its radio silence. Tensions and panic are on the rise! We will continue to monitor the developping of the situation. Back to the studio!

The fact it's a grind isn't why people are criticising the 'content'. If the Heavensward 50-60 MSQ consisted of you having to do the same exact ARR dungeons and trials would you defend it by going 'well the last MSQ had you doing dungeons so I won't expect this one to be different'?

The dev team have glued their fingers on ctrl, c and v but the PR team is amazing, gotta give it do them. You've got this borderline cult of Yoshida, the belief that the more money they'll spend on the game, the more funding it will recieve (and use it to justify anything), I've read people believe Yoshida when he says that he'll never let the game go F2P like he'd tell his costumers to drop the sub and just wait for the game to be free (and like he has any choice in the matter), now there's this new narrative of the dev team being a small group of geniuses whose limitless talent is being held back by SE, not to mention the 2 years old excuse of the miracle they pulled with AAR (guess what, if they didn't suck so much in the first place they wouldn't have had to), PS3 limitations...

They'll believe anything as long as a community rep tells them it's good for the game, even when it's painfully clear it's not.

If next patch you start over with a lvl1 character and no items or gear you'll have people call SE generous for making us revisit the storyline and leveling without having to make an alt.

Because we are too entlited to this game and we don`t see it. Thats we should be oh-so-ever thankfull at the mercy of SE for giving us this chance of enjoying this throughtly thought, polished and absolutely justified delayed piece of content.

Tomorrow SE could arbritrarely just delete all data in their datacenters for whatever reason and you would see people here defending them "it gives us something to do!", "now we can start anew!" and im not exaggerating, any reasonable person reading these days insane white knighting going on knows it true. Again, the standars of these people is near to non existent. There is people defending that SE took 6 months to copypaste content.

I'm not sure if I'm laughing because of how ridiculously funny it sounds, or the fact that deep in the back of my head, your scenario would just come to pass. It basically sums up this entire situation. I remember reading in another thread yesterday, not sure which, that a person was willing to do whatever SE cranked out, even if it was shit on the plate.

I've actually seen this happen in other games I've played, that's the sad part. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did something like instantly demolish all houses currently in the game (as an example off of the top of my head), and I would fully expect a large chunk of the community to vehemently defend it.
