"Coming into its own" is too much!

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.

Nidhogg EX would like to say hi. Nice to know you don't like the 210 step in the game. Not everything in the game needs to cater to your likes and dislikes. There are people who hate crafting. Should crafting be changed so that it accommodates these people? There are people who hate tanking. Should tanking be changed to suit these people?

You want a challenge, go do Nidhogg EX. You want an even bigger challenge? With your Nidhogg EX weapon, go do M4S.
