Feedback is simple: Relic Quest was nice, but its missing the actual relic weapon step - this should have been the pre-quest. As it is, 1h content for 3 months+ is really, really bad.
Ex trial is fine I guess, not sure why they keep releasing outdated gear. FFXIV devs are the only ones in the business who dont seem to understand outdated equipment being, well, outdated. If its for the glam, just make it lvl 1.
