Oh, and always: People complaining that X is too easy and Y is too hard. Then two months later complain that Y is too easy and Z is too hard.

Do you mean something else? Because the current relic is already a lot higher than that.

My predictions are 100% accurate:

- Three new Expert dungeons.
- Current 'Expert' dungeons relegated to 'Hard Mode' roulette.
- Drop rate for zodiac items from dungeons increased.
- 5-star crafting added.
- New level 120 crafted gear.
- Huge deficit in the number of tanks as everyone rushes to level Machinist and Astrologist, while only a smaller handful level Dark Knight.
- Zodiac weapon quest ends at ilvl 135.
- New weapons added at ilvl 145+
- Tomes of Soldiery now replaced with Tomes of Poetry.
- Tomes of Poetry now replaced with Tomes of Fanfic Literature.

3.0: Start of story going to expect you have level 50 ilevel 100 average and 2.x story fully completed
One new job will be possible to start at level 50 while the other two will have to be levelled as usual
Current level 50 dungeons that are ilevel synced to i110 will be strictly level 50/ilevel 110 capped while 2.4 and 2.5 dungeons will have a level sync cap at level 52
All current dungeons will have to be cleared at least once in order to progress main story
Level 52 will be required for first new story/levelling dungeon
There will be FATE zerglings destroying every FATE in sight in the new areas
At level 60 you'll have a new AF set that is more suitable to wear than our current best gear (due to being higher level if not higher ilevel)

ilevel will get sister gearscore that's using job/role relevant stats as basis for a new metric in order to solve the problem of people boosting ilevel average with irrelevant gear
Alexander will open up before end of 3.0 main story, but will require the 3.0 starting primals to be cleared
Relic questline will continue with current questline being severely nerfed so that people can catch up fast

3.1:
The new 24-man raid is going to open up
Some will complain that people can now catch up with gear that is equal to what drops in Alexander hardmode
A couple of new dungeons will be added, two of which are hardmodes of current level 50 dungeons that's not already based on a previous dungeon (Pharos Sirius, Lost City of Amdapor, Hullbreaker Isle, Snowcloak, Keeper of the Lake) and some people will complain that dungeons are being reused

I think we're going to see some major changes to more than one class. We already have a THM redesign coming in. I would hope a nice SMN revamp is also included.

God, there is precious little information about Heavensward :(. What I would give for them to be a little more chatty. Is it refreshing compared to WoW, where you practically know every little detail by the three month point before it comes out?
I'm honestly conflicted where I stand there.
