It was never fun for me in any sense, but was the only thing I had to get me to stay when I felt "bored" and wanted to leave.

If it weren't for the Relic I likely would have quit 10 months ago. I would even go so far as to say it "punished" me in a way that made me appreciate everything else there really was to do in the game.

I realize how stupid it sounds, but it's true.
