Diadem and Savage - I can't deal with it anymore

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

You're right, and I did note that. Time and future content will make what we go through for our gear obsolete (T9 and T13 are a joke now), but it does still sting just a little when someone obtains or exceeds what you have even by a little, if by lesser means. I'm painting an exteme picture to say it but think of it like spending a lifetime learning/mastering kung fu vs Matrix-style downloading it in seconds. Obviously, this is really stretching it, but the concept is similar. What does your lifetime of discipline mean when someone else obtains it in a fraction of the time? Why bother progressive raiding when we could all just wait til content nerfs or catch up patches? It might not matter to some, and even I seem a bit detached from it myself now, but it doesn't go unnoticed or felt.

As it stands, knowing the pattern now, I still raid, and still want to clear Alex Savage, but my dedication to doing so is nowhere near what I had with Coil. The rewards feel transient, and by the time I might obtain them, the skill requirement might be lifted/eased, or easier alternatives will be in place. Then there's the relic too. I WANT to beat Thordan Ex, I WANT those weapons, but there's still my Eso wep, and the coming relic, both more than likely to be of a higher item level/more useful. Thus motivation takes a huge hit.
