I’m in favour of relic dedicated content. Similar to the original relic. Not grinding fates. Trying to revitalize dead content. Not rng drops.

But wanting a grind is just busy work for the sake of busy work.

This step is similar to token farming. You just choose where you want your runs, and how many. The only difference is getting an item vs not.
I can literally get all the tomes done through hunts and pump out a new weapon every 2 hours. I don't know if it can get more efficient than that but it works for me since I'm also working towards several hunt related achievements. It just feels uninspired and like a: "We didn't know how to make this step engaging so here's a repeat of the first." Which is sad coming from the previous 4 tiers of relics.

I get your point though and it's valid that it's a step to get tomes however you want and that's fine. It works for people who don't have the ability to be online all the time and I'm happy they're being accomodated. I just hope a middle ground can be found where everyone is able to get something out of the relic quest that they've been looking for. Who knows, maybe there will be a step down the line that actually feels like the ARR/HW grind that Yoshi said it would resemble. All I (and others) can really do is voice how we feel about it so maybe it'll actually reach the ears of someone who cares about it. If it will not be, then an explanation should at least be provided by Yoshi as to why it was stated otherwise previously.
