Relic Weapons-Broken Promises

[dbrewer225]

alot of yall make good points. the content should be a challenge but like alot of people said, this relic weapons quest has truly seperated the community to the point that if you are just now starting the quest, you are pretty much screwed till 2.0 Not many or all ls are not recruiting due to the fact that you are behind. I have 3 double melded weapons mnk war and whm ready to go and defeated the stronghold nm but the 17min AV/CC runs jst killed all my hopes and dreams of getting relic. I do occasioanly can get in to 25 mins speed runs but the drop rate for the items need for the relic should have been better instead of RNG like darklight. This game lack progression and i can see how that can truly disturb a players motivation. But hey ill just keep going and hopefully a ls will start recruiting people who really wanna complete relics.

I see this as a problem with all content in this game. Practically no one wants to go back and help anyone with "old" content once they have what they need/want from it. I was 8/9 seals for 3 weeks, half the time i couldn't find 8 ppl who still wanted to do hamlet. The other half was spent in hamlet not getting drops because people bail as soon as they get one seal forcing you to find a rep who will do the same. There was even at least one point in that time period where Hyrstmill (last seal i needed) didn't even get to rank 2 so my shot at getting a seal was zero to none.

How many people do you know still doing Ifrit/Moogle/Garuda aside from a casual social LS gathering (which fails on Garuda anyway)? Even regular CC/AV runs barely happen now, much less the 17 or even 25 minute ones.

One could say this is the players' faults for being dicks and not helping everyone get on the same page, but those same people would probably argue that it's the game's fault for providing such horrid drop rates that they got burned out on the content.
