Please give us the 7.x relics for free

[AwesomeJr44]

After hearing recent news about the next step for relic weapons, I was thrown into a deep deep despair. How DARE these devs expect us to grind out tomes for these weapons?! Isn't clearing this short questline enough!?

It's probably too late for the 6.55 step, but I DEMAND that the 7.x relics not require this tome grind. These are CASUAL relics!!! If they are going to require a questline to unlock, they should be given for free, and I mean every step of the relic!

I must say that I am very very disappointed in SE for the decisions they've made for these relic steps. Do they want this game to be WoW with insane grinds for relics!?

Treat your casual players better SE. Treat them better.

(is this where I put the /s?)

I mean, yea, I'm on board with that. I love having cool stuff, and relics are cool stuff.

They may as well give it to people for free. Less time playing the game and more time for going to venues.

I say they should be easier too.

It really highlights the petulancy that runs rampant through the OF at times.

[Absimiliard]

They might as well. Doing four quests and spending an hour gathering tomestones (or not, since most people have a stockpile anyway) does not a challenge make.

I like long walks on the beach, drinking Jin and nerfing Paladins.

Why should relics pose a significant challenge every single expansion? Finally they gave us something that doesn’t require a boring grind (which many players hated for several expansions now), and there’s outcry. For me, it’s a nice change, and I don’t have to commit all of my gameplay time to one part of the content.
This expansion is the most content-rich and yet there’s people crying about perceived content-draught.
There’s PvP series malmstones if you like grind, there’s Savages, Unreals, Extremes and Ultimates if you like PvE challenge. Also new Deep Dungeon, completely new Criterion and Variant dungeons, Island Sanctuary to chill at, countless new housing items, fair lottery and much more. There is enough content and it is released faster than in let’s say WoW.

I'm sorry but did you just try to use housing items as an example of playable engaging content? You...put down a piece of furniture...and then it's done....? Yay?

As for the rest:
- Variant and Criterion are irrelevant in terms of replayability once you get all paths completed in Variant and got the throne via Criterion (done both of those)
- Finished my PvP grind a week or two ago now and can't collect anything further past the gear since there's literally nothing of value to exchange the currency for anymore.
- Extremes/Ultimates/Savage are pretty much irrelevant after you get your totems/mount/weapon/gear unless you want to outfit multiple classes
- Deep Dungeon is irrelevant after you get your clear unless you push for a solo title or try to farm out the mount
- Island Sanctuary is a literal daily that takes 10m of your time a day if you're actually optimized


Please elaborate on how any of that is supposed to be engaging and long lasting?
