Square Enix should retire the relic quests with Endwalker

[VerdeLuck]

In elemenary school we had a sportfestival with prices and what not. I got a price for placing 4th, a little trophy made by students. An absolut hideous, ugly thing... but i keep it to this day because its earned. I did go to a seminar for the company i work for and at the end we had a teambuiling exercise and we all got a trophy handed because "we all are winners".... i did throw away this thing the moment i reached the parking lot of the hotel. It never reached my home, not even my car.

Endwalker relics are handouts without any meaning or purpose besides to populate the pf. Mandervill is something i love and find funny to no end but to make it mandatory is nonsense and lazy. Everything SE did in EW after 6.0 patches is recycle, repeat, stretch and reduce. I cant wait when we reach the point where relics a quest rewards are with just clicking on a NPC and thats it, done in 5 minutes. No i got one better: MOGSTATION.

Relics are normally for the collectors crowd and min/max for what ever but relics are by no stretch a good or meaningfull way to get BIS besides some special cases. Go savage and be done. So can i have my cool, exploration bling bling back ? You can craft, fish, huntrain, triple triad, etc. to youre hearts content - i want the exploration Zones and their Relics back. I love Eureka and Bozja, you can dislike it all you want but the game has your back with other stuff.

Relics have always been handouts, ARR was a handout for grinding fates for dozens of hours, HW was a handout for grinding duties for dozens of hours, SB was a handout for doing eureka for dozens of hours, SHB was a handout for doing bozja for dozens of hours.
Endwalker is no different, it just doesn't require doing one specific thing. I can earn half a relic doing all 12 paths of a variant dungeon or I can do hunt trains and do the same. It's freeing.

But lets not kid ourselves and act like relics were ever some holy thing or were ever meaningful to earn, they were a grind and a handout for casuals to catch up and have glam during an expansion.

Though I have to say the community's 180 on relics from when they were originally revealed to be manderville is very funny. In a year we went from "This is unfair why are you making me do hildbrand quests?" to "This is unfair why aren't you making me do more specific things?"
