Will Relics create the same problems that they did in FFXI?

[CarolinaGMCKSFan]

In a way FFXI relic was easier because it was all about farming gil. FFXIV relics are impossible to do without a set group. If everyone you knew quit FFXIV and you had a mostly empty LS getting relic in FFXIV was almost impossible.

The hardest part about getting a FFXIV relic was finding a consistent group to play FFXIV with.

You had to have a consistent group for FFXI as well. Yea you could /sh for a pug dynamis run, but you weren't going to do very well and typically end up losing money. A lot of money. So it wasn't really practical. Dynamis took a lot of coordination to get the pulls/sleeps/kill order down.

Not to mention getting items like:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/At...on_of_Celerity
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Ornate_Fragment.
Which DEFINATELY could not be accomplished with a bunch of pugged knuckleheads.

In its prime for I would say 1 dynamis run would yield 12m worth of currency. The run only cost 1m, you can promise people AF2 and they can be happy with that but a lot of the AF2 wasn't that great so in essence if someone sponsored a run they made out like a bandit, in terms of gil made, you may or may not of got your AF2.

But if the end result is you completing a relic who cares what the currency was worth? That wasn't your intention. The only way you benefited from something like that is if you were on a Byne Bill stage and farmed Sandy for Silverpieces. Then sold the Silverpieces to purchase Bynes.

I'm really starting to wondering how in-depth YOUR dynamis experiences were....

I do hope they make relics much more desirable for casters in FFXIV than they were FFXI. Caster relics in XI were a waste of gil/linkshell members time.
