My Zeta is only worth 18 atma?

Should be grateful you got a boost at all, to be honest.

No, i shouldn't be 'grateful' i got a 'boost' that some people can complete in a day. My Zeta did not take me a day or 18 atma to complete.
This was the one item that had a good progression line.
Let me put things in perspective.
The Zeta when it first came out, to finish, took month(s). Upon expansion, it was useless, until now, its only value is to skip grinding 18 atma in the next phase of its progression, something that can be done in a day or two. Some people have already collected them all.
So let's say the next expansion comes out, your relic that you completed in 3.x is rendered useless for several months until they come out with a new progression for it. For all that you had done to complete your relic in 3.x, you are rewarded to bypass a step that takes only a couple of days.
I'm sorry but the math simply just doesn't add up. 860+ days subscriber here, and this is such a slap in the face.
I don't even mind the new grind. It's simply the devaluing of my Zeta that infuriates me.

Okay?

I guess I just don't care because I came from WoW. You would spend like a year trying to get a legendary weapon in that game, then the instant the next expansion came it was replaced by a dungeon drop.
Since this game takes a lot from WoW, you honestly really should be happy you got anything. If it were up to me, it would have been good for nothing but glamour.

Also-anima crystals suck a lot more than you give them credit. Everyone I talk to is taking hours to even get one of them.

But this isn't WoW and it's not up to you, so that doesn't really count for anything. "Uhh well it's better than Wow" is a stupid argument because it's an argument that can't stand alone in FFXIV discussion. As for the new atmas, I got Forelands' crystals in 3 fates. RNG is RNG, and these crystals mean nothing.

A) Wow, very much uncalled for.
B) He's right. I've never touched WoW but I agree this content doesn't float well enough to be seaworthy.

On the flipside, you could say people should be grateful they can do the relic at all without the previous relic.

Perspectives, perspectives.

Not exactly the same.... there was never an intent to require the old weapons.
