Must admit this pretty much hits the nail on the head.
Only the hardcore minority of the already minority people that actually raid would really be concerned about it and being realistic its a non issue.
Seem like these people would prefer it how it was ... get a shit relic and throw it away and do without or put up with a shit relic instead of with the crucible where it the main affix is shit there still a reasonable chance of having GOOD affixes in the 2nd or 3rd tier or even BOTH making it a blood amazing relic compared to before.
They see it now as "I MUST HAVE" rather than as a bonus, talk about cutting your nose of to spite you face...
Hell give em 100% chance at the perfect stats with 100% drop rate and they'd find something to complain about ...
Probably about having nothing to do....
