I know you’re being tongue-in-cheek with your sarcasm in this thread, but they technically are. Even if the drop rates in dungeons are as low as 0.1%, that is greater than the 0.0% chance found in other game modes. The devs can come out and say that relics are indeed most commonly found in Dungeons (assuming the Daily Challenge board is ignored and this assessment is made solely on chest drop rates).
Is this BS wordplay? Absolutely. Are the drop rates still garbage regardless ? Definitely.
Though, some of the Eveline changes in 1.0 take almost all of the pain of acquiring relics away, through Epic rarity. Obtaining Rare and Epic relics is now a nearly trivial affair from Eveline and pretty much makes irrelevant any real reason to actually attempt to farm them.

Cross referencing from another thread that has pretty much run its course, but has a relevant post to this discussion,
Now, if you really want something to be angry about at the devs that is current and relevant, argue about the ludicrous pricing of Eveline’s T3 and T4 relic functions. The changes the devs made to her in 1.0 for T1 and T2 relics vastly undercut Shop prices (for T2, she undercuts the new uber-VIP Epic relic bundle significantly). On the flip side, the changes for T3 and T4 relics are equivalent to a thimble full of water in attempting to quench a blazing inferno. While lowering the number of Eveline crystals for a T4 relic function is appreciated, in terms of cost the change is of minimal effect.
Coupled with the removal of T3 and T4 relics from the Quest Pass, players are almost all-but-forced to use the incredibly destructive Eveline T3 and T4 functions to gain these relics…
… unless the player decides to purchase the extremely convenient new VIP Legendary Pack where 3 T3 relics are sold in bulk for 800 Crowns and gets to bypass Eveline’s destructive functions.
… Mythic ascensions are almost impossible now as well… but look at that! The previously ignored VIP Mythic Bundle now offers FOUR Mythic relics for 2k Crowns. For the low, low price of $70 USD for 2 bundles (Eveline crystals for conversions and Glyphs not included), the player can now simply buy relics for the Mythic ascension of choice and fast track their way to the top of the game.
Frankly, locking down normal players from reaching high rarity gear tiers while simultaneously opening a bullet train expressway for those with very deep pockets is the more insulting offense.
