The ease of salvage can make farming easier on top of the availability to gain pouches in neo-nyzul. I could see the entire process of a mythic taking upwards of a year start to finish based on the fact you need tags for assaults, which you complete twice for clear+credit, kill all 3 kings, gain 100k Ichor, gain 30k Alex, etc. Saying Einherjar takes a year is inaccurate unless you are spending the ichor on other items.
You're operating under the assumption that only 1 person is attempting to build that mythic. The opposite is more likely to be the case. Not to mention, with the restrictions that are still in place that prevent soloers and the like from most of the requirements to build a Mythic and the artificial delays in the process as well people simply aren't doing the content, so the option of purchasing alexandrite and ichors would never have the availibility that relic building has with currency. similarily, most of the grind content on Empy weaps-full or ghetto-is reduced because so much of the kill line is force-pop.

i've never liked the requirement of just camping and staring at a screen. Make me farm a pop item or set, fine. then I can build a group of friends to tackle it when we are all available, for as many pops as we have. There would still be delays in the task, as SE seems to want, but at least we would be doing something, and our progress (or lack of it) would be tied to what it really should be-are you working at it? Sitting around with your thumb up your butt waiting for a ToD repop isn't working, it's just depleting Oxygen while generating Carbon Dioxide. Unless you're suffering from a respiratory condition, I don't know how that qualifies as fun...
