Realy that's already been covered by just building the base 75 weapon in the case of relics and mythics, and heavy metal plates covered it for Emps. Everything from that point on should just be routine maintenance.

Personally I choose not to do them. You may all make your own choices.
That's not a choice, that's bad game design. No one's forcing them to keep playing a game with many poorly thought out design choices either. You let stuff like that slide often enough and the playerbase will just pack up and leave. It's not like FFXI is the only game on the market, and there are plenty of more promising options on the horizon.
