"THe Development Team Does Not Currently Have Plans Too..."

[WoW]

This is so untrue. Tons and tons of people are making Mythics now. Do you see how many people shout for Einherjar on a daily basis compared to before? The reason you see so much alex is because many, many people farm Salvage for gil.

From a personal experience; these shouts do occur on a daily basis, but it is usually the same ppl, lol. Just some trends I noticed over the past year or so. On occasions, they tend to shout for awhile before farming. There are ppl making them, no doubt; not sure how many though. Eyeball test says not too many. Could be wrong, but they are not common or somewhat common per-se; single popular relics may triumph or equate/come close to the total number of mythics.

Maybe it's server-dependent, but Valefor is as backwater as it gets and there are at least 3-4 separate NA groups that go (not counting the people in my linkshell) and at least a handful of JP shouts. I can only assume that it's even more popular on Asura.

Besides you can tell just by looking around, whether it's on FFXIAH or just walking around town. So many of these weapons are best in slot that a lot of players are seeing them as worthwhile and highly attainable long term goals.

There's like 700 total.

There's like 700 total.

How are you getting 700 total?

http://www.ffxiah.com/relics/mythics

That's not even counting the vast majority of JP Mythics. Considering that there are only 16 servers now there're probably close to couple hundred per server.

I was unaware that FFXIAH didn't count JP accounts. To be honest, I don't even know if that's accurate since I see a couple people from my LS missing on there and a bunch of people listed on my server that aren't on my server any more.

Let's just assume that the 3,000 that the guy below me claims is correct for arguments sake. That site also lists 128,000 active accounts. That's about 2 mythics out of every 100 players before you even account for guys that have more than 1. My server has like 900 people on at peak time. Which means I can expect an average of maybe 20 people on the whole server to have a mythic.

I mean I know I'm gonna sound like a jerk here, but if those 20 guys have to be bored so that the other 880 of us have something to do, well that's too bad.

128k active accounts does not equal active players as it includes mule characters. The real number of active players is probably something far less (of course, there are inactive mythics too). I'd wager that there are many more Mythics than new players, and we don't tell new players to just screw off do we? Well, maybe we do...

[Malithar]

There's like 700 total.

There was 512 of them as of May 16th...2011. I'd wager there's well over 3k mythics at this point, there's many people with multiple.

I think this is an important thing for the game to have alongside attainable short term goals. If anything, we may need more long term goals.
