I guess the systems are working as intended and don't think any concepts are necessarily broken. This just does not look fun at all. Also despite the grinding in previous relic quests this game had, it at least still let me go at my own pace. I feel like I am depending on the pace of multiple people to get stuff done. Or better to say, at least the previous relic quests were consistent with FFXIV's philosophy of game design. This expansion's relic quest seems to go against that level of consistency of design. I know it is an MMO, but I believe in general this is bad game design.
