Actually, the relic IS the easy option. But for that same reason, it's the long one.

Look around the forums and you'll see the relic gets no love from me at all, but I'm aware it was meant to be a long, easy road to something good, for those who lack the time/skill/desire to do more challenging content. Now, numbers show that even those who do have what it takes get relics anyways, but the relic largely remains both an equalizer among players, and a catalyst for sustaining/reviving older content. I frown upon it, openly and loudly, but I'm aware of its necessity, personal feelings aside.

But let's stop kidding ourselves about the relic not being "easy". The last time it was not easy, we had to fight the HM Primals fpr it, and people largely hated the challenge. Others thought it was TOO easy (those who had the skill/desire that is). For that reason and more, we all got a series of grinds.
