Maybe the player population and retention for players who do more than hang around in venues isn't very solid and so this is a cynical attempt to desperately try and breathe new life into roulette queues. Even as they continue to update the bulk of the game to be completed solo style.

The same can be said about fates. You can farm bicolour gemstones rigth now.

Apologies if that offends anyone but as someone who actually enjoys working hard for relics, this feels like a slap in the face.

You can not seriously imply that grinding fates isnt a complete auto-pilot business. If anything it's even worse auto-piloting than roulettes.

because thats what it sounds like

How on earth was that your takeaway when I called the current system "the most boring side content imaginable"? Obviously I don't prefer this setup. I think this system is ass and I'd have loved a system that wasn't so dull. All I meant was I also think these weapons are ugly as hell, so I'm like... low-key glad that they're not a huge pain in the ass to get, since they're gaudy af and I've glammed over all of them. In ShB I did the relic quests while they were relevant on all of my jobs primarily because I liked the way they looked, but later because it was BiS. But I think what's always driven me to bother with these is their appearance. If the 6.4 ones look like shit too, I'll just get one on my main job and then not even bother.

My opinion but I feel doing FATEs with some form of RNG attached to it is more engaging than doing the same dailies that we do every day. It felt like more effort was involved than the gutted version of a relic grind we have now where everything is basically handed to you. If that's fun or rewarding enough for you, cool. Go enjoy it. Let the rest of us voice the valid complaints we have. For me, it's incredibly boring and is honestly making me consider just going full force on savage for next tier just to avoid doing it, which is really sad as relics were/are my favorite part of the game.

I'm also just irritated in general that it was said this grind would be similar to HWs and none of that has really come to fruition. When I think of HW, I don't think of exchanging tomestomes for every single step.

If they didn't announce more Variant content already, I'd sincerely believe that they forgot about it.
