Yeah because doing mindnumbing numbers of Fates in Eureka and Bozja was so much better. The relic weapon was always about grinding stuff and in the last few expansions the first step was always easy. Heck last time you even got your first relic for free. This is just how it works. Instead of needing skill you will put in time. It was never meant to be challenging.

And not everyone here has the 1.500 on hand. I did not. I still need to grind at least 800 stones before I can get my first relic. Why? Because I have every single job at lvl 90 and when I gather enough stones I turn them in for gear for them. So now I do need to do more content to get it.

On top of that you have those who simply want more than one relic. I am quite sure those also still have grind quite a bit before they reach their goal.
