What will you do with the extra time/money you'll have after Relic Delta?

I'm kind of looking forward to this as a non-whale end game player. Guessing I will drop down in GAC, but that will probably match me against similar or lesser accounts. Its not as if my current yo-yoing between K1 and K2 gets any kind of progression so a more relaxed GAC experience is ok.

How will it be a more relaxed experience?  If (like me) you tend to punch up a bit (which it sounds like from your description), we'll likely fall a bit because of RDs.  However, to hold our new position, we'll need to be just as try-hard.  It won't be anymore relaxed, unless you stop caring and drop a little further.

It's all relative really and unless a player is chasing GAC #1 spot then who cares as we'll all find our level, much as we have now.

Doesn't it feel like a bit of a kick in the teeth?  We've been trying hard at their game, over-achieving and using experience, others and our own ingenuity to find off meta-counters.  In the future, all this ingenuity will be wiped out (to a degree) by just looking at relic levels, taking advantage of the 200% damage and bullying it.

If there was an issue with players not getting higher relics they should have fixed that another way a long time ago.  Instead, they did the opposite with lowering the relic requirements on datacrons.  All that time R9 has kept being pretty hard to obtain, and we've been pushed and encouraged to move on and get the 'new shiny thing'.  

CG has messed up, and quite frankly I don't trust or can get my head around their reasoning.

I do tend to agree, that a lot of the 'I've been playing since 1984 and 200% of my guild has given up and the rest will when RDs drop' posts are a bit bull-poo and scare mongering........but you know......maybe right now that's what's needed.  Saying that, CG don't listen and are going to do this anyway.
