Nothing about any of FFXIV's relics are particularly hard and in comparison to other games not even that bad as far as grinds go...So to reduce a relic down to 1500 old tomes per stage with no other pre-requisites (apart from some cutscenes) is incredibly pitiful and reductive!

I swear people these days want to be given everything on a silver platter without even trying to lift a single finger...Might as well ask the devs for a button to instantly make you max level, with gear at max ilvl and all tomes capped whilst you're at it because that is the exact same energy these people are giving!...and people wonder why player retention has been low this patch cycle?!...
That ffxi comparison made me think back to how hard legendaries were to get in the past in WoW. Where you'd have to do weekly clears of the current raid for most of the patches lifespan to finish one of them. One per raid group, not Player.


Compared to that, while I wasn't interested in Eureka during SB that seemed much more doable and much easier to pace to your gaming time.

And similar with ShB and bozja with the added bonus of some steps being basicly doable as part of your daily Roulettes over a long time if you didn't want or couldn't free Up time for long grind sessions.

Where as EW relics are just free. You don't even need to run any content after the patch bc instead of adding relic mat Drops to whatever Roulette daily bonus. You just buy the mats with tomes. And there's nothing to it beyond handing those mats over.
