I think that's the main problem here, nothing they do will be "correct". There's no winning here...if they made the tomestone poetics, people would complain. If they made them Causality, people would complain HARDER because that's a 4 week timegate. If they made them FATEs people would rage about having to do them again. If it was AR people would complain about having to do ARs. There is nothing they could do, absolutely NOTHING that wouldn't be ripped apart. This community is the definition of an Unpleasable Fanbase when it comes to the relic grind.
