Around some time yesterday I made this post with a petition stating as to why they should remove Prize Fight Golds from relics. However, I did not provide any effective reasoning for it, and that's what this edit is for; to provide some effective reasoning as to why I feel the way I do about this.
As you may know, you can obtain the following gold fighters from relics as well as top placements in prize fights:
>Parasite Weave Filia
>Primed Parasoul
>Wulfsbane Beowulf
>Untouchable Peacock
>Raw Nerv Painwheel
>Immoral Fiber Double
>Poltergust Squigly
>Silent Kill Valentine
>Diva Intervention Eliza
>Epic Sax Big Band
>Harlequin Cerebella
The most frustrating part about having these fighters available in relics is receiving them as duplicates. But not simply just that, but just given their value as fighters in general. Compared to other gold fighters, they aren't really rare or considerably valuable at all. You'll notice that almost every player from levels 35-60 have them, and even some more advanced players with an inventory completely STOCKED full of them:
Getting these fighters out of relics can just be frustrating and I'm not the only one that thinks so. Several players have expressed their frustration in getting these relatively easy to obtain golds out of relics as brand new fighters after hearing they can be obtained through another method. Or as mere duplicates. Just check the Discord and it's evident.

And even just some comments from the petition I recently started:

And I'm sure a lot of you will express similar feelings to mine and these responses in the replies below
I feel as if removing them from relics would not only tone down some frustration for veteran players, but create some more diversity amongst the fighters as well and overall satisfaction. If these fighters were exclusive to Prize Fights, I'm sure it could increase their value slightly as well too, creating golds that exist in a competitive and skill based category of the game rather than just sheer luck. Although, it still wouldn't up their value entirely to put them in comparison with other relic golds.
As far as the argument for these fighters being potential carries and a necessity for new players to rank up in Prize Fights goes, it's invalid for several reasons. The first reason being is that there are several other extremely good carry fighters that can be pulled from relics (or just valuable fighters with unique SAs):
>Bio-Exorcist Squigly
>Armed Forces Cerebella
>Brain Freeze Cerebella
>Private Dick Big Band
>Buzzkill Painwheel
>Ultraviolent Peacock
>Rainbow Blight Double
>Xenomorph Double
And you don't need a relic gold fighter to carry you in gold PFs to get one of the Prize Fight fighters. I got my first Prize Fight gold (Epic Sax Big Band) by using a Gold Rerun Peacock and a Gold Bassline Big Band, the two fighters that are given to you at the start of the game but leveled to max. And that's something we're forgetting. You CAN upgrade Bronze and Silver fighters to Gold, making them just as strong as regular Gold Fighters. You don't need an Epic Sax Big Band or a Harlequin Cerebella to carry you in the Prize Fights, but you could do the same with a Gold Cold Stones Beowulf or a Gold Doublicious Double. Even then, I continued to use those fighters to get the other gold Prize Fight fighters until I had leveled them all up efficiently and there was no need for them. I got my first relic gold (Surgeon General Valentine) a longtime after I had already gotten all of the Prize Fight fighters.
And even so, duplicates are still bound to occur if this change is enforced but that's okay. The thing is, there will still be more value behind them compared to getting a duplicate Prize Fight Gold out of a relic (ex. a duplicate Brain Freeze is more valuable than a duplicate Harlequin)
So for those who agree with this change, I'll leave the link to the petition below, although I'm sure it isn't the only way to enforce this change into the game.
