Square Enix should retire the relic quests with Endwalker

[Nebelheim]

That's not even close to what I'm saying, I set my own goals in the game. I run MINE content, I use special gear combos to run content on old levels of power. The challenge is fun.
I run content blind because it's fun. I don't ask for the game to box me into something to grind, I take what exists in the game and make it my goal.

If you need the devs to lock relics behind fate grinds because you want to run 100 fates but won't do it unless it's the only way or the easiest way to earn it, that's weird. If you want to do old content but need the devs to give you an exclusive reward for doing old content, that's weird. If you need the devs to not offer alternate ways to earn relics because you have no self control and will run the shortest path through the grind every time even if you hate it that's weird.
These forums are one of the few places I've seen people complain about too many options to unlock content. You can do literally whatever you want and in that field of choices, you choose the fastest, easiest way and then get mad at Square Enix for allowing you to do that to yourself and for making it too easy.

It's like someone booting up dark souls, grabbing the most broken tools imaginable, and then being mad at the developers for not forcing them to run it with a more difficult to use build. You chose this out of a wide variety of options. It's not up to the developers to put up kiddie rails to keep you from chasing the fastest path to the end and then being mad at yourself when it's too easy. Everything at level 90 gives tomes, pick the thing you like and do that to have fun, and progress your relic.

Your literally telling people to purposely slow down on content because there apparently going too fast when there really is only 1 path to completing the relic. What other options do we have after roulettes other then spamming eureka orthos 1000 times to artificially slowdown progress. People that want a grind don't want to gatekeep relics there is really no grind at all for these relics it's perfect for people who don't want a grind. This is the laziest relics grid for lazy people who don't want to grind other then roulettes because god forbid people do more then roulettes then afk in limsa showing off there glams. I shouldnt have to artificially halt progression or find the slowest method possible to complete it and to extend it. You seem to have recently started with endwalkers and haven't done any of the relics on release to claim they were handed to you.
