relic quest change in ARR?

[YuriSan]

Are you aware that only one person on the entire server can obtain #1 provisioner? That's hardly a good method to get your seals. You could spend 20mil on items to donate and not even get top 3 if 3 people spend 21mil.

If you're not going down this route either because you don't have the gil or because you're not crazy enough to spend 60mil on 9 seals then you've 3 options.

1) Ask 7 nice people to do nothing but hamlet for a week for no benefit of their own.
2) Create a static party and spend 8 weeks getting all 8 people seals.
3) Spend 3-4 months doing it with PUGs where every run will have 8 new people who need a seal.

How is this fun gameplay?

You can rule #1 out because chances are if you need seals you weren't around to help those 7 people get theirs. Why should they help you?

#2 you can rule out because chances are there aren't 8 people in your LS or friend list who need seals.

So you're left with #3 which is so off putting it's not even worth bothering with.

I've barely played this game the past 4 months because I missed the boat with hamlet and everyone has been busy with the rest of the relic quest, which unlike hamlet needs to be done multiple times.

In short, we need less of this shit in ARR if the game is to succeed.

Well if u have a #1 provi in your pt seals drop 100% for him in his private loot and u get lots of seals drop in the public loot aswell. u can distribute them to the people to get em done with seals one person at a time.
I didnt say the way we did it is the best way to do it. but in a lil family/ls like ours it was efficiant.
We go all 3/3 for all 8/8 and the effort to get top 3 was divided by 8. everyone pitched in some labour so it wasnt all that horrible.
And them 20hrs straight where kinda fun and bonding.
What we went through we will remember pleasantly even if we passed out on the floor a couple of times during those hrs.
In the end all i know is all mah thugs have their seals done now and we dun need to hamlet again like ever...
You can do it however u want i just sugested a way that worked for us
