ARR relic says "hi". You needed crafters, killing 100s of open world enemies, running dozens of dungeons (several of which were current content), farming the hell out of trials/EX/Savage for the light step, needing a ton of tomestones, doing around 75 treasure maps, FATE grinding, etc. Nowadays it's a bit of a grind, but doable. Back then it was heavily time gated and took MONTHS.

Note that I do agree the current step is a bit of a tedious one, but it still pales in comparison to the original ARR relics.

The issue isn't the grind. The issue is that except for a step here and there in ARR and HW, you could accomplish those doing your normal things. You weren't sequestered away into a separate zone where you may or may not enjoy the content but be unable to accomplish any of the other normal things you might want to. Bozja doubles down on this by also being a zone with an even more limited shelf life than Eureka had.

And to the OP, "technically" they gave people what they asked for. They just either truly or deliberately misunderstood. It's a bit facetious to say "You wanted to go outside, here, we let you get the updates outside" because that completely misses the point that so many of the complaints were about having to interact with the sequestered zone at all when it offered very little to entice them there.
