Atma/crystal farming when it was new was punishment, not content. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who thinks that fate farming for rare drops before the nerf was fun. Or filling out books or light farming after that.

There wasn’t much of a real story either, just “repeat all of this old content to fill out the overworld and have a reason for seasoned players to join queues for old dungeons”. Relic back then was just a mindless grind with nothing else substantial around it.
