Then why keep complaining about it? If you dislike it, then the relic is obviously not designed for you.

I complain because:

I can.
Someone should.
Apparently they DO listen. (Primal Birds)
I don't mind a sensible grind. (Which this is not)
I actually PREFER to be challenged than handed a lame grind. (Which this is)
Tome weapons once took 3 weeks due to weekly caps, was suddenly increased to 7, oddly timed with the 230 relic step. That's a step in the wrong direction.
SE needs to know that where they had a chance to do better, they didn't.

Do you want a better experience? Speak up. If not, or if you're content with doing this again in 4.0 with even higher numbers or somehow worse requirements, feel free to roll over and accept what you're given. I won't.
