Please stop making the gobdib easy to get

On a related note, I hold issue with increasing the time/token grind for tome weapons to 7 weeks (which oddly put it right in line with the next relic step this time around). It used to take 3 weeks of tome grinding plus 1 token to get a weapon, then suddenly 7 weeks (1 token a week) plus 1000 tomes to get your tome weapon. If the relic is meant to be the easier-but-longer option, then it makes little sense to slow down acquisition of the alternatives, wouldn't you agree?

The 7 week grind was fine. In fact it is much easier than it used to be in 2.x (3.0 was a very strange exception, but I'll forgive it due to the amount of content in the rest of the patch). In 2.x you needed to get the unidentified allagan tomestones from coil in order to even get a tome weapon (let alone upgrade it), and these were later given in CT raids. Weapons have always been more difficult to get.

That's why the addition of Padjali weapons was met with such enthusiasm. Really the only quick and casual weapon of a relevant item level when the alternatives are Savage or Extreme primal or 7-week lockout or Anima grind, with no high-level crafted weapons in existence any more.
