Way to go Square, you guys just made Empyrean Weapons easier to get in comparison to building a weapon from Walk of Echoes drops. I thought it was the other way around?

While I really enjoy the new system and have gotten some good money drops, I have yet to see a coin on my main or my mule lol.
For the three-billionth time, the point of WoE is not and has never been to make only one weapon any more than the point of FFXI has been to play only one job.
It's embarrassing to even have to explain this, but let's say Little Timmy casually makes a Masamune over the course of two months and little Tommy goes to WoE and gets enough (or close to enough) coins to make one of each of the four types of weapons in about the same time. Judging from my experience so far, 2 months of a few WoEs a day ought to bring you enough coins for that.
At the end of this, Little Timmy's SAM has Fudo and an ODD proc. Little Tommy's SAM has Fudo, his NIN has Hi, his MNK has VSmite, and his THF and DNC have Rudra's.
Timmy's awesome SAM is still a SAM. People do not always want or need SAMs. Tommy, however, has access to an Empyrean WS regardless of what any group he might join may need at that particular moment.
Unfortunately now that prices on gear have already dropped drastically, the amount of people doing it will fall too.
Similar to when WoE was introduced, it will die out after the initial rush. I give it two weeks maximum, maybe more if flux 11 gives good Dice drops, as they are currently the best seller from WoE on Asura, going for 250k~ (yeah and you need 100, you might as well go buy your KI pops by shouting in jeuno for the damn emp).
After that, like I said, you'll go back to SMN BST COR only. Just wait.
Edit: Also, I've been doing flux 9. It has a version of Turul/Amhuluk (similar to the new VW NM in Rolanberry S) that, in addition to everything Amhuluk, has a HP/MP down that reduced my HP on SMN from 1100 to 550. The following Vermillion wind did ~1000. The PLD's barely survive, and they all had Ochains. If you think of another way to win besides pets, please let me know.
