The main problem is the odd belief that people doing the bare minimum of the games content should get a similar level of rewards... Nowhere is this more true than with Relic weapons... I've no idea why anyone thinks the item level those quests provide is acceptable given the content involved... It makes no sense to me, item level doesn't even really matter that much unless you're doing Savage... Yet people feel entitled to that item level for doing some of the easiest content possible...

I really wish SE gave us either branching Relic quests, or multiple Relic quests... Take 2.0, we had the Relic Reborn weapons, then we had the Primal Focus weapons... Could have upgraded both IMO, Relic Reborn has you farming FATEs? Primal Focus has your farming Coil. Need a rare drop from Snowcloak to get Excalibur? Balmung needs a rare drop from Shiva (EX). That doesn't make the drops from raids any better, but it at least adds some additional value to the content... Such a shame that both Relics would need to be equal though... Such an absurdity... It's genuinely backwards; The more effort you put into this game, the less rewarding it becomes... Someone who rarely plays is likely going to be excited when they pick up some Lore gear for doing basically nothing. Meanwhile, someone who busts their ass off raiding gets to watch as other players rapidly get the same item levels for a fraction of the effort... By all means, reward casual players as well, but the notion that they need the same rewards as hardcore players? It's stupid... All it does is make the MMO less attractive for hardcore and casual alike...
