I've seen a lot of people furious that you're required to get to rank 10 and do Castrum in Bozja in order to progress the relic. Let's break down the complaints:
TL;DR
If you actually go into Bozja, you'll realize that it's no big deal to do the story portion. If you don't hate HW fate grinding, there's no justification for hating Bozja grinding.
1.) They didn't tell us we would need to do Bozja!
They did. Explicitly. Several times. There's a quote that I'm sure someone will link below that effectively says, "you can progress the relic outside of Bozja but you'll still need to do the story to finish it." We've known this for a while now.
2.) Why even bother letting us do it outside of Bozja?
They wanted to let you do the grinding component elsewhere if you really wanted. Yes, doing one relic at a time is faster than trying to do it in Bozja, but it's actually faster to do multiple relics in the actual zone. They wanted to give you variety. That being said, they are still tied to the zone. These weapons are intrinsically tied to the story of Bozja. Of course you were going to need to do it. You just don't have to farm in there if you don't want.
As a side note: they want you to at least try their new content that they spent a lot of resources on, especially the new public dungeon. Should be pretty obvious the relic would require at least dipping your toes in.
3.) But I hate the content. I'm never gonna do Eureka 2.0!
This is usually said by people that haven't even stepped in there. Let me be clear on this: Bozja is nowhere near as difficult or time consuming as Eureka. You don't have to farm ANY mobs. Besides the zone being ugly, there is no reason you can justify saying that you're fine farming HW fates but not okay running Bozja content. IT'S 90% THE SAME THING BUT AT A FASTER PACE. The other 10% are bigger fights that are far more interesting than any of the HW Fates are.
On top of that, you get lost actions and other stuff to use to add diversity to your combat that you don't get elsewhere. Lastly, you can multitask and LEVEL A JOB at the same time.
4.) But I don't have time to do it!
It takes literally an EVENING to get to rank 10 in Bozja. Probably the same amount of time it took you to farm a weapon from HW fates if not a bit longer. If you can justify HW Fate farming, you can do Bozja.
5.) But Bozja is going to be dead in the future
People said this about Eureka. There are still people in EVERY zone of Eureka. People STILL run BA regularly. On top of that, Bozja is this expansion's hyperleveling source like POTD and HoH so people will always come back to it.
6.) But nobody does castrum
This is a legit complaint for sure. The rewards for it are uninspiring even after the buff. That being said, they nerfed Eureka to the ground after it wasn't relevant anymore to make it more solo friendly. They'll probably do the same to Castrum and Bozja as a whole.
Now that you HAVE to do Castrum to progress your relic, it'll repopulate it for sure. That being said, if they gave it an xp drop similar to running a dungeon or something, people would def do it.
Verdict
While there are certainly valid concerns laced in a lot of the complaints, a majority of the disdain is coming from people that obviously barely stepped their toes into the content.
You don't have to like Bozja. I'm actually an oddball that really liked Eureka but was pretty meh on Bozja. But running just the story portion is absolutely no worse than grinding HW fates. It's super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
