Enough with the "stagger" system. This is being played out.

I really wish we could get some feedback on this, currently doing a mythic weapon and the Alexandrite/Einharjar stage are a real pain. I'm lucky to have a small group who are happy to farm Salvage zones daily for me but still you're looking around 40 weeks just for that stage.
Due to the fact that there is no longer any incentive for groups to do salvage these days it has resulted in the small few who do selling the Alexandrites for 9-10k a pop on Carbuncle at the minute. At that rate you're looking at roughly 270million gil. I appreciate that Mythic need to be somewhat exclusive, and yes that is half the fun of doing it but this is a tad excessive.
On top of the gruelling Alex stage there is redoing every assault mission one a day so that's a minimum of 50 days. Following that you will need to farm Nyzul floors daily while still fitting in Salvage...daily.
Then there is the Ichor needed from Einharjar. I find this stage one of the worst, getting people interested in this event atleast 2 times a week for so many weeks is so difficult. The Alexandrite stage is a pain but at least I can chip away at it daily with 2 others but fighting Odin isn't so simple.
Antanias makes some great points which I feel would increase the rate at which people can farm these weapons but also keep them as a challenge.
Any feedback would be great to let players know any ideas/planned changes ahead. If I new adjustments were coming I'd feel much better about going along as I am knowing it will be come easier to finish off!
Get 2 friends and you can do most of it. Get a better linkshell and you can easily complete the rest.

Hardest part about finishing my Ryunohige was the T4 trophies. 10 Soul Plates every vana day sucked. cause I would go out take 48~60 pics and 60 is if nothing failed which was incredible rare. then standing around for hours praying that the monster of the day didn't change. I was lucky enough to have people willing to help kill/make some t4's for me but it still took a while to finish. Went 1/11 for Tinnin, 1/4 for Saramya, 1/7 for Tyger.
Lifting the limit on Soul Plates (or even raising the zeni gain) sounds plausible. I mean c'mon, you're not gonna make all 20 weapons in ONE day are ya? :P
@ Zackan: They said nothing about being retroactive, but we won't really know until closer to update time.
"Tonight on the Vana'diel Report, a poor innocent player lost a valuable 10-15 seconds of their lives by reading Antanias's signature."
They already said that there will be revisions to the TAU areas when the TAU synergy gear augments come out.

Has SE posted anything in regards to Einherjar updates? At the minute getting atleast 6 people to do this every 72 hours and split the cost is a pain! The price isn't too bad but when trying to keep up with the high Alexandrite prices/daily salvage/assaultts/nyzul runs while in a full time job it's gil that could be better spent!
I can happily chip away at everything else but the Eyepatch really puts me off! Would love to have some details on possible Einherjar updates, anything to make getting all that Therion Ichor a little easier!
I am enjoying the challange of getting this a lot, just relying on people to do a dead event is hard really!
