Atleast the jp winner got a mythic.
Waste of a rank #1, just that, move on, he can be proud over years for winning a relic, people will just laugh at it.

I wish people would quit saying a relic takes a month. it's such BS. I could see 2-3 months if you are hardcore 18 hour-a-day gamer. for us casuals that live in reality, it's a year. don't get me wrong, this guy should've picked mythic anything, for obvious reasons, but it's really getting stupid how people think you can make a relic over the weekend, it's just not accurate. so if this guy has 2-4 hours a day to play, homeboy just saved himself a years worth of work, not that he shouldn't have saved himself 4-5 years of work, & got a mythic, but I makes my points.
***lol. A casual gamer could make 5-6 a year.
A really casual gamer could manipulate prices and make a relic in weeks. Buy low, sell high, missprice single pieces as 100s. Look at the price of scarletite ingots on some servers vs. others. Someone said to themselves "there are a couple fools leveling a craft who would LOVE to be parted with their money on my server" and bought all the low price ones and put them back up high. ***Ragnarok is 60-70% higher than asura lol.
I would replace the term "casual" with either "stupid" or "lazy". The implication that all gamers who can accomplish something are virgin male neckbeard basement dwellers should have become extinct a decade ago.
Also, if someone is a "casual" gamer, why are you playing an MMO? The term "casual" gamer is at BEST an excuse used repetitiously to explain why some people can't get anything done in a game originally designed to target young teens.

casually building spharai, & it taking 6 months so far.
18,100 (rough number, changes depending on relic) / 150 (easy to get on bst if you're a decent player) = 121 (rounded up) days or 4 months...
So if you spent 0 gil on currency it would take 4 months at 2hours a day...

I laugh at all the people who said they'd /wrist over someone winning a relic over mythic.
Werent you also the guy who said you'd pick a relic because you didnt wanna be pigeon holed into one job? Yet,multijob relics are useless for all but 1 job on them nearly....except probably just the bow.
Anyways I'm 99% gutted someone picked a relic and won.and 1% happy that its not some noob or(more likely) a bandwagoner with a free mythic.
Edit: Oh,and GS
So all the prizes are out now? I logged on after seeing this thread jump up 10 pages overnight. I got a Rank 5 prize. Better then nothing, I suppose.
Am I the only one that feels grief looking at this controversy from a mid-2000s perspective? The sight of any relic weapon being called a "waste" is just sad.
[+]
When did prizes actually get distributed?
Checked my delivery box at like 7:20 a.m. this morning (EST) and there was nothing from the moogles.
Did I get boned?

Was like midnight when it happened. You were boned.

Saw my marrows in the box at 4:00 a.m. EST, so yeah, I think you got squat :/
They started going out around 2:30 AM EST. Went into full swing by about 4:30~ or so.

Took me exactly 5 weeks to get 75 amano, and that was doing dynamis 4 days a week tops (other 3 days a week I do ADL with my ls), the rest of the currency I bought - and I'm not loaded with gil by any means. If it takes you a whole damn year to finish a relic today, you're doing it very very VERY wrong.
Edit: since someone in my ls pointed it out to me, let me add that I duoed dynamis 4 days a week for my currency, thf and bst. But even if you solo, no way is it taking you a whole damn year.
those #'s are very realistic. I guess a large portion of my problem/arguement is that I'm giving all shells to a buddy for guttler. plus, I try to make it everyday, but don't. 4 months solo seems about right solo with no buying. I'm lazy it looks like. I still stand by my silly *** opinion, you have too much time on your hands if you're done in a month.

I guess the idea of using a useless and/or inferior weapon on a 2nd job just because I can is an alien concept to me

Some relics were a waste even then.
Still: If I'm being totally honest (which is hard to do being as I wanted liberator sooo bad) I'd rather someone get ***who will appreciate it, regardless of what it means to you or I. Sav got a Toci's this morning and seemed elated. If I would have gotten mekira body, it would've been more of "onice I don't have to do this VW next". I just try to keep it at "i lost and I don't wanna know what someone else did with their winnings" lol.

I still think AA weapons/Athena orbs should have been consolation prizes

Bravo!! You must have very close friends in game.
That could have been my Yagrush. :( Oh well, grats on a slot eater.
I'm very bitter that after 10 years I got squat not even a rank 5 prize, and yet more than a few got double prizes on two accounts. That's all kinds of screwed up! Yes I'm hating >_>;
