In a few months, everyone is going to be full myth geared thanks to the "social welfare" tokens given out by doing AK all the time. And then getting relics will not be an issue anymore. Everyone will be geared, then they will release harder content that will make all the myth gear people outdated. This is only good if they don't release easy to get gear to gear up casuals for the new content. It is pretty disheartening when they basically devalue all past effort and subscription time you payed for and give new players a free ride to the position that took you a lot of effort. FFXI was very good for keeping all the gear relevant (until Adoulin).... and honestly now FFXI has died in my eyes. They turned FFXI's system into the welfare system and de-valued relics and mythics. You should have seen how many angry people were when they had the nerve to out-class the weapons that had been relevant for MANY years. It was honestly a move by SE to get people to leave and go to FF14 because FF11's "fate" wall destroying events and content updates are in the same type of model FF14 uses now.
Edit: Especially since this game, you can level multiple jobs on a character, there is no reason to outdate so many aspects of the character you have built with so many different jobs. You could have put a lot of effort into many different jobs and that much more effort is devalued by content updates that release overpowered gear.
TL;DR: SE, Don't give new players and casuals a free ride to new content. That is UNFAIR! New players and casuals have to work to get to the new content in my opinion. If they release easily-obtained gear that outclasses myth gear, it makes all your queuing and AK runs kinda pointless. Waste of time and subscription time!! You payed to put yourself through suffering only to get it outdated in a few months. Most retarded gaming model ever.
