Square Enix should retire the relic quests with Endwalker

[Nebelheim]

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?"

Previous relics weren't handouts you had to work for them and actually do/run content not just your daily roulettes for 1500 tomes which most people do daily anyway. Endwalkers relics were handouts. At this point in endwalkers i would rather have the various grinds arr and heavansward relics had us do rather than what we have now. There is no grind or achievement in grinding daily roulettes for a current relic other than making it super easy to grind with poetics next expansion which will make it even easier to get. We already have tome weapons we can get for 1500 tomes and doing the normal 8 man raids for the weekly thing it drops for an equivalent ilvl weapon.
