Thread: the "relic" and "anima" and whatever 4.0 version of it should not be powerful

While OP's demands are quite ridiculous, I'm pretty sure most raiders don't really mind relic/anima getting up to the same ilv as raid weapons. People who min/max stuffs will get their anima if it's better (especially for some classes anima would be significantly better than raid weapon).

Also, to say it's "braindead" and that you don't have to "master the game" is not really true. There's no more "mastering" of the game done getting the gobdip or primal weapon than there is getting the Anima weapon. In fact, it could be argued you do far more "mastering" of the game doing the Anima because you end up doing a mixture of activities rather than memorizing just a few fights.

Have you actually cleared those raid though? I started raiding in 3.1, was stuck in a3s for a month, stopped trying after 3.2 arrived, and I wasn't even close to mastering the first half of the fight. It took my static two months to down a6s, probably around two more months to down a7s, and I was stuck at a8s second phase (out of like 7? phases) for over a month until 3.4 arrived. Well maybe I'm just a terrible player for your standards, but if you haven't cleared at least some of those raids I think it's kinda rude to say that's less effort and takes less "mastery" of the game compared to doing a few hours' worth of fates, doing daily roulettes and a few ARF runs occasionally over a month or two (for each big steps, e.g i210, i240, i270).
