Indeed. The reward is why people take up the quest in the first place, but a good story is what gets people interested in getting from one individual step to the next.

Another Idea that came to me from your post is the notion of not just keeping your custom stats from your old weapon, but, if that's not possible, perhaps allowing us to reassign our custom stats to the new weapon with no cost/penalty. Given the Millions upon Millions of Gill I dumped into my weapon, and the extra Millions of Gill they'd have expected me to spend if I ever wanted to change those stats, I think it's fair that us Zeta folk get a free pass on this in the new relic.

Lastly, the 8 man or even solo trials. Yes please. I'm especially interested in the idea of doing solo trials. I'm not sure if you meant instanced fights or not, but I think it would be interesting for them to utilize the "unsynced" function of the game and have us fight certain bosses solo. It's unlikely, since they're all about trying to force us to run old content for the sake of new people (especially us tanks), but it would be cool if they actually wanted us to fight a Trial solo for the reward... not sure how that would work for healers, mind you.
