You can literally get 1500 tomestones in 2 hours by doing hunt trains, you seem to be under the idea that slowing yourself down on purpose somehow makes it challenging or interesting, it really isnt, also "challenging for who ?" for the people that want a challenge ? who else ?

The best part of it being people will argue it can be obtained a variety of ways.

There's the good ways and the "so slow you might as well just make a zodiac weapon because even that would be more interesting" Which leaves...roulettes and hunt trains, or pvp spam if you're still going for the series reward. All of which you would be doing ordinarily every day anyway for the rewards because it's...ya know, only obtainable through tomes.

Spamming Expert roulette isn't fun because there's literally only TWO dungeons in it. And the only dungeons that give this tome currency are Endwalker capstone dungeons.

Eureka and Bozja made obtaining them engaging because you were at least engaging in zones that actually felt like a threat to the player since story mode content is laughably easy, both of which people STILL go back and interact with. Had systems like logos and lost actions. Had multiple kinds of rewards (lockboxes might be rng hell but it was an incredibly good incentive because of rare drops. Bozjan lockboxes even brought weapon glams into them), and even outside of relics have goals for you to accomplish (Baldesion Arsenal upgrading Elemental gear, or hell even just getting your Elemental armor at all. *This isn't mentioning that BOTH Eureka and Bozja had upgradable gear that made you more powerful in those zones* and Bozja took another layer to this with proofs of mettle upgrading your damage, health, and healing output). Both have methods for you to get gil (bunny fates, lockboxes despite the rng, cluster farms)

But yeah, sure bro, relics being a glorified tome weapon is better than that type of content.
