No.

I am a gamer who enjoys EARNING what she has. It's like most of the fun, why would you want that taken away from people?

If I had the choice to keep or not, I'd throw it away.

I'm sorry but your reasoing is so flawed. I know we won't keep them, and even if I'd like to, I think it's better that way. Not because I'm morally opposed or because I want to "earn" it, but simply because it's just a silly event. C'mon guys, you have GMs Rick Rolling people...

And I'm sorry, but get out of your moral high horse. You wouldn't throw it away. You "earn" NOTHING in this game. Relic quest starts based on RNG dropped seals (unless top 3), your doublmeld is also dependant on RNG. To be honest, saying you'd rather "earn" it, is just craving for attention. I myself was pretty lucky, got all my seals upon 9 or so days before save, and got my doublemeld 1/1. Do you think I earned it? Because I don't. Yes, I might have put in a lot of hours, but not more than some of my friends working on their second relics, and trust me, if they got to keep new relics, they would.

Hope I didn't come off as a jerk, but to be honest, stop posting about what you think you should post and actually post what you really feel about the situation. It'll come out more natural, too!

And I just got Curtana without Holy Shield. Go figure... :lol:

I'd love to keep them (personally i think the difficulty of getting the relic weapon is ridiculous. It requires enormous luck, excessive hours of play, and that you not only be highly skilled (this is the only good thing about this quest) but that you know and be friends with 7 other people who are equally skilled in varying jobs and can all play at the same time and who all want to help you with it.

I can see insisting that you be skilled to earn it...but needing to know that many HIGHLY skilled players also? I know this is an MMO, but c'mon...

(I know we will not be able to keep them though. But you wouldn't hear me complain if we did)

personaly i think They should give us players at least 1 relic in 2.0 (the class you pick to start with) since they have literly screwed most average 1.0 players out of getting them, the only players who got them (more than 1 relic) where the ones with no lives lots of gil & better melded gear due to the games unbalances since yoshi started changing things(e.g. garuda, ifrit extreme lagg for non japan players), the ones who got 1 or started it where the ones who had more time &/or lots of gil.

agree or disagree my points valid & true!

I see 61 folks ready to quit at the launch of ARR when said relics go *POOF*

The relic quest isn't THAT hard. I dont have a relic yet but am a long way into "A Relic Reborn". Frankly if it wasnt too hard it wouldnt be worth it. I never played ffxi but ive heard that the relic quest there was way harder.

I'm surprised to see how spoiled some of you are. S-E tosses people a free (temporary) bone as a reward for sticking through everything. And people are already trying to abuse their kindness. Then again this is human nature for wanting more and MORE!

Just be happy that you can stare at the relic for a few days and even wield it. I for one am quite happy and seeing the weapon in my character's hand actually makes me want to work to obtain one when ARR is released. While I couldn't care less before to obtain it.

No, we know full well we can't keep them we wouldn't be /that/ naive lol.

I'm on the fence about it, I wouldn't mind just keeping one (it'll never happen, but hey - pipe dreams!) - the Artemis bow as I know I do not have the time to pour into getting one but when they're taken away I won't mind as it was never truly mine to begin with; maybe 'on loan' would be a better phrase for these items.^^;

You want some cheese with that whine? Why do you have to lash out on the system or the players? Going off by your signature, I don't see why you complain. These last couple of months it was really cheap to reach Top 20 in any of the Hamlets, as the demand for seals had dried out a little. I don't see why you couldn't drop around 40,000 points worth of gil (that you can farm on your own, by mining/fishing/harvesting) to secure yourself provisioner status and reserve a seal.

Gil is so easy to come by in this game. You can spend every day a couple of hours SBing, and you're asured to get your gil back that you spent buying items to SB, and might even luck-out with some of the big-ticket materias. Calling people "no-lifers" is so 2006. Guess what, we're all playing an MMO, which are known to be time-consuming, but you're the one that dictates how consuming it is. If you can't/don't want to play as many hours as others, why would you expect to be on their same level/status? They might get better gear, but then again, they invested more time in it. How do you think they got so much gil in the first place? Do you think it just adds up overtime?

Don't understand why people get so frustrated. How about you play the game the way it is fun for you, and stop comparing yourself to others? You'll find out you actually enjoy it much more.
