Is it the perception of the community? The implementation? The very social structure of MMO players? Or perhaps a combination of all three.
You could actually work towards getting the relics in xi. Here its just luck based. You are just sitting there spamming content that is unrewarding outside of getting those seals.

The content is becoming the equivalent of putting electric nodes on your nipples and electrocuting yourself for 12 hours only to be rewarded with a hat that says "I survived having my nipples being shocked for 12 hours and don't have to do it anymore"

Unless there is some secret mechanic we don't know about its probably going to take like 25-40 perfect hamlet runs to get the 9 seals for one person. And that is just one person, the only reward the other people in the party will be getting are dark matter and militia barbuts.
