"Coming into its own" is too much!

At this point, it's not about expecting hand outs.

Atma 3.0 but now 18 instead of 12?
Getting 10 of item A to earn 1 of B/C/D/E, plus 4 high quality crafted F/G/H/I?

It's not even a matter of too quick/too easy but "is this really worth my time?" I actually have less time to play now than I used to, and was completely turned off by it then. SE had a chance to do right by the old relic quest, and do something different or better. And they DIDN'T

I consider myself one of the rare cases who just wholeheartedly dislikes the relic, both old and new. If you like it and don't mind the grind, go for it. Get them all, and I'll commend your efforts. If not, set yourself free now and enjoy everything else the game has to offer. . . SE's lucky if I even read one letter of the patch notes that concern relics from now on.
