Relic/Mythic Aquisition Update?

Was curious if Relic/Mythic weapons are going to be eased up to aquire since Empyreal has pretty much set the standard for the ultimate end game weapon? (abyssea in general set the standard for end game in ffxi now) I thought I heard SE mention something about this in a earlier update or notification. Planning to do my Mandau after so many years but I do feel that the current currency amount (also prices on currency have jumped at least 25-35% due to the drop rates being so low; with constant procs, we are lucky to get 70-80 singles in a single run in Beaucedine) are a bit too much. Stage 4 and 5 need 60-61 + 100 x 100 pieces to get those done plus you need to do 4 trials after that. It's just my 2 cents. I just feel an update to lower relic and mythic currency/item amounts is in order.

Or you can go get an emp, a weapon designed for people that didn't have the stomach for the ordeal of getting a relic weapon.

Some relics and mythics have different utility than empyreans, such as yagrush.

Relic currency still isn't too bad to farm if you research the trigger system in dynamis.

If all archaic machinery dropped alexandrite (and NMs dropping pouches), inside and outside of salvage, the ability to make mythic weapons would greatly increase.

Do NOT do relic/mythic now.
Save your money.
Do it only when they buff them.

I know how the trigger system works but the currency just doesn't drop very much. I farm with 6 people in my LS off of Hydra mobs in Beaucedine for the best money drops but the most we get is like 60 pieces in a single 2 hr session and that's with at least 50% procs. Also, yeah i know they gonna upgrade relics in the future so i am waiting on that as well. I just hope they make it easier to obtain.

They already stated explicitly that the requirements for relic and mythic are not going to be lowered.
