I don't know how else you can please this relic crowd.

Easy, don't make a relic system that I can complete day one with a backlog of tomestones I already have. That's the whole problem with the relic. Not that we have options to gain X (in this case tomestones) but because of what X is (tomestones) something we get naturally and more importantly something we usually have an abundance of from a previous patch.

Disappointing. What is the problem of having fewer people making a relic? It should be something you are proud of, not some welfare check you receive. Should we also give Savage weapons to everyone now for 1000 tomes? Or let everyone get <The Necromancer> by doing PotD 51-60 5 times? While getting a relic does not take combat skill, it does take effort, and effort is apparently not something that SE wants to reward nowadays.

"Want a system that makes it easy to obtain weapons". That is called tomestone weapons, which are higher ilvl than relics until the last patch of the expansion.

And it means that there isn't much hope for 7.x's relic series to be better, since they are adamant about their position being correct.

Be proud of what? That I slogged through the boring grind? A grind that takes literally no skill and only time? That's what relics are: boring content. I will take less boring content over more boring content any day of the week. The comparison to savage and necromancer is laughable as is the "just get a tome weapon" bit. Why do you hate so much how relic weapons look?

This relic process using outdated tomestones basically just took content away from people that enjoyed it while giving nothing back in return.

No it didnt, if you want a checklist to tick off from I literally have one ready. Since you very clearly dont care about how the relics look unlike me there will be no difference for you.

You just care about how they look, and given you find the acquisition method okay for you, you'll go for it. We want the acquisition method to require effort, whether it's a field zone or a refined ARR method or otherwise. I want them to look good, but if they do look good it's mostly an added bonus for me.

It's two entirely separate preferences and we will continue to sit here going in circles. Proving YoshiP right when he said it's hard to appeal to both.

So you just want something to do. This is a problem I have with you MMO players: if you found the gameplay fun you would already be playing it instead of complaining on the forum. Instead you want the game to tell you what to do because you dont know on your own what you find fun to do. But if it's a checklist you want someone to make for you, literally anyone could make one unless you specifically care about having an achievement to show off with (in which case I have no solution for you other than to tell you to go find something better to brag with). This is why the endwalker relic solution is better, it serves us who care for the looks and anyone else can just have a random forum poster give them a checklist and there will be no functional difference.
