The problem I have with relic weapons

[LaylaTsarra]

I have lots of "things to do". I just prefer those things to not involve repetitively doing something I don't actually enjoy because of an arbitrary decision that the player must do it X times to proceed.

If you wouldn't willingly go out and do fifty FATEs for enjoyment, why should you want to be forced to do so "to have something to do"? It's not a challenge or an achievement; it's just busywork.

They gave people an optional method to get the relic. Run 60 fates and do 6 dungeons. One doesn't even have to enter Borzan to get them. They've done lots to make it easier for those who complain about what they have to do. The fact of the matter is that people ALWAYS complain about relic, it's been part of the meta ever since I've been here.

First stage this forum was full of the 10 minute relic step that should have had a grind. Now we get one with a moderate grind and we get the same old it's too much of a grind and we shouldn't have to do it. You can't make everyone happy that's for sure.

Relic is optional content and one can simply go ahead and do tome weapons if what they've given us to do isn't something one doesn't want to participate in.

Personally they dumbed this relic down significantly from being able to ride a mount the minute you enter the zone to making dying not all that big of a deal. Mettle loss is minimal and where Eureka had a sense of actual danger this place is a breeze.
