Its a scam dressed in a pretty weapon, to enforce the vision that players should only do raids.

But it's excatly what they said.
They said the relic is supposed to be the "easy" way to get i210. It doesn't requires skills this time, just you to have nothing to do and enough patience.
Still, my problem is, comparing i210 and i210, some are better than other depending on the stats they give. If they want the relic to be the easy alternative, the way they blindly slap sub-stats on gear needs to change.

The absence of mentioning the use of old (or even 2.x) content in the anima quest, it's context in it being so delayed because it wasn't finished, is worrisome. I'm just afraid they'll still repeat the threadmill of the same content again for 3.2's dungeons and quests. Beyond the novelty of it being new, it'd only last about a week or two for the typicalplayer to see everything a few times (or 7 times for expert dungeons) before they had enough of it. There's also no mention of alleviating problems that smaller servers have because of the transfers.

I'm also not sure what players you are listening to since it only seems like a small group of players (or does that went to fanfest) are the ones that demanded "harder content". While at the same time, Yoshi seems very adamant on not making any other content that isn't a raid have some resemblance of difficulty when it's fresh out of the patch. That's what gives it shelf life, and that's where you can nerf and ungate overtime with the process of gearing from tomestones. I really don't get his thought process when interpreting things like clear rates, especially when it's as soon as content comes out (and this is directly in response to when he felt that alexander normal's clear rate was very high and thus he was satisfied about it)

My patience is personally at an all time low in regards to 3.x updates, and even after the liveletter I don't get their design philosophy or approach with content. Do they honestly thing going back to do 2.x content (in the upmost literal sense, you're doing 2.x beast tribes and 2.x hunts) during a 3.x patch cycle is fun?
