lol @ this topic even existing. I hear WoW had private servers where you can get max gear when you log on. Sounds like a better choice for some of you who want the best things in game handed to you for free.

But then everyone has it and they cant watch others crawl their way up :P

You want it to cost, just not cost you anything. lol

You did come off as a jerk.

High horse? Really? Because I say that I do not want a free Relic I'm on a moral high horse? Did you not even read my post?
I want to earn it because I get satisfaction from earning my equipment. I'm the type of person who enjoys that sort of thing. I would throw it away and I wouldn't regret it one bit.
And as someone who complained a lot about the RNG in the quest, I was one of the first people to praise them for the latter part of the quest that does take time and skill which makes you "earn" it.

The fact that you get so defensive with people disagreeing and talk about "morals" when it wasn't even relevant shows me that YOU think it's wrong. I am just giving my opinion on this thread and what I would do and for you to tell me I shouldn't or that I wouldn't is absurd to say the least.

We shouldn't get to keep them, end of.

You're not on a moral high horse if you don't want to keep it, but you're talking down everyone that would keep it. That's what what makes your post so unlikable.
It's really laughable that you're talking about "earning" equipment, when the only equipment that you can really earn is the one bought with gil, if you craft/meld it yourself or with friends. In a game where drops like Darklight are so hard to drop, with countless hours on my back with a static doing at least 6 runs of 5-chest daily, and I only have an Eyepatch to show for it, yet some other player will go there and get it on their first run ever, while being carried over by other players. You call that earning gear? Wow, guess you must know something I don't because this game is LUCK, when it comes to earning equipment. Relic yes, you may have to work on Ifrit Extreme, but that's about it.

I enjoy working hard for my equipment, did in FFXI for many years and so do now, here. I don't think that for cherishing the illusion that we might keep the relics (spoiler alert: we won't) and calling out on people that say they would throw them away I'm acting as such a jerk. I've seen this kind of entitled attitude before, and it is really disgusting.

I don't get defensive about "people" disagreeing, I get upset with seeing so much crap written by the same poster, over and over again. You're narcisistic and you keep feeding yourself on your own dellusional world, and your signature proves it. I hope you keep posting, because everytime you do, it gets even more amusing. Anyway, I'm done with this petty argument, next time if you actually want to have a decent and actual discussion, don't open it with name calling. (I was being retorical with the jerk snip, but guess that flew over your head)

What can I say that hasn't been said?

Oh, I know...

RELICS AREN'T FOR EVERYONE.

You don't want to put the effort into it? Go for one of the alternatives. There are plenty to choose from. Since you lack the time, you wouldn't be needing uber leet gear for end-game anyway, would you?

And yes, I'm being needlessly sarcastic and confrontational, but the "gimme because I want" attitude some people display here...

aza, last time i said relics aren't for everyone, i got kicked out of 2 linkshells xD

The Kitten of War is wondering why this thread is still going.....


But seriously, I'm glad SE decided to let the unwashed masses such as myself play around with relics for a few days. Made it easier for me to decide which one I would try and complete when 2.0 drops (I don't have the kind of free time some of you crazy kids have, so 1 is probably as far as I'll go).

I hope they make the weapons & the quest to obtain them more epic though.... I'm really not overly impressed by the weapons tbh. They are extremely nice, don't get me wrong.... But I completed a relic in XI (Amanomurakumo), equipping that GKT for the first time and running out with friends in tow to test out Tachi: Kaiten was just such an awesome feeling. Hell I even loved tagging along with friends from other linkshells to see them test out new relics in XI just to see the new weaponskills. These relics in XIV just don't have that same type of feeling.

But who knows, maybe when they make them upgradable the unique weaponskills will come back. I'll work on the quest regardless in 2.0, just so I can say I completed at least one them. But I do hope they bring back that epic feeling of power you had when you got one in XI.

But enough of my rant, let's summarize this topic;

1. Guy #1 wants to keep his temporary relic even though there is no chance in hell this will ever happen.
2. Other guys come in and also want to keep theirs.
3. Even more guys come in and are outraged that guy #1 and friends would even dare to suggest such a thing.
4. All these guys start a pointless argument & general internet forum hijinks & shennanigans insue.
5. Guy #1 more than likely sits back and smirks while stroking his evil genius goatee and looking over his handiwork.
6. The Kitten of War ponders what the purpose of it all was?

I thank SE for allowing us to play with relics. I think that was very kind and honestly sort of unexpected.

THANK YOU SQUARE ENIX

Now, I wonder if they regret do this because of all the arguments it's seemed to have caused.

I asked a GM jokingly for my relic since we weren't saving. My wish came true. I thanked him after the patch as well and he said "you're wel - ..wait what?" funny guy.

But to beg them to keep it. That's something I never thought of doing and personally think that wouldn't be okay. :/

Besides. Think. The "final" save was November 1st. It's just not going to happen.

Again, thank you SE, and more importantly, thank you Yoshi-P for all that you've done.

@ this entire topic.

I love this gif. Haha perfect

-comfort Rau- I'm too much of a bully for them to kick out. Mwahahaha. >D

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.

So what's less than 10% of the quest being RNG is representative of the entire quest being RNG? lolno.

I never said the entire quest was based on RNG, though. Doesn't matter how many steps are that are actually RNG, they're enough to be a bottleneck. I spent 14 hours one day in Aleport, and only saw 2 seals drop. 14 hours of non-stop, only resting on the 15 minutes of cooldown. If that's not enough RNG for you then I don't know what is.

I just don't agree with the snippet of people "earning" things or not.
