No sir I didn't miss the point. I'm just being supportive. If you felt I was being flippant... then here's another cliche for you... if the shoe fits..
Re: the mythic... The biggest bottleneck isn't even collecting alex, it's farming tokens/ ichor because you need to work with other people. I'd wager by time the OP has collected the King titles, gotten captain, redone all 50 assaults with the journals, SE will have made changes to place mythics on the same "easy-mode" path as relics.
And if they don't, they have an extremely long term goal they can quietly work on at their own pace till they give up, the game ends/ shutdown, or they get it.
