Heard this one before! 
Despite repeated mentions of relics being somehow easier to earn from Chests, it has never really been true. At this point after this many “increases” it should be noticeable right? Why should anyone believe this yet again? Challenges are the only area of the game (as discussed above in the 0.36 Patch Notes quote) where you actually earn relics of any quantity through gameplay. Please stop saying that you are increasing chances for Relics from Chests and actually do it so that it feels apparent. Make this come true!
With the continued limited availability of glyphs, this issue persists in creating a crushing twin bottleneck that is a hard progress wall on any development past gear level 35 and essentially ensures that multi-character development as well as supposed goals in the Season Pass can’t even be met by anyone but those with the deepest of pockets.
On a positive note, this is a good change. And an evident one! (EDIT: see post below, not 100% evident!)
