soiled promissory note?

[RathSkybreaker]

The comments in this thread fascinate me, in a scientific, social science sort of way. These requirements really aren't 1/100th as steep as those for getting relic weapons, even 1/1000th. Yet while I can barely recall a complaint a year about the difficulty of procuring relic weapons, it prompts a veritable flood of complaints in this context. What is it that has changed? Is it the perception of the community? The implementation? The very social structure of MMO players? Or perhaps a combination of all three.

In XI- you actually felt like you were working towards a goal, you could buy the bills, and although in all actuality it took longer, the process wasn't that bad because you could see your progress, and if you had the gil, you could buy progress..

In XIV - It's all luck, everything in this game is luck, you could pick this game up day one and have a chance of picking up a relic within a few months, considering this is even how you get them.

On a side note - I kinda disliked XI's system as well, but I think the system they have now is a step even further in the wrong direction...
