I had these ideas in my head for awhile now but this step is so...layered that there are multiple ways to nerf it
  • Not require Speiclaists (already done)
  • Less Unidentifiables and/or crafted stuff for Cristina's wares
  • Less Beastmen tokens for Unidentifiables
  • Less Tomes for Unidentifiables
  • Less Seals for Unidentifiables
  • Ixali Oaknots, Centurio Seals and Wolf Marks for Unidentifiables or mats (possible, but probably unwelcome in the latter case given the reaction to Feast jobbing)
  • More Alexander Drops/Less Alexander tokens
  • Increased BT Tokens
  • Allowing the rest of the BT quests (the ones from Rank 1 and 2) to drop Tokens
  • Increased drops form maps
And one that might go to both this and the following step (as such they will be highly unlikely until say, 4.1?)
  • Aether Oil + A choice of Undentifiables for Primal Focus
  • Adding Unidentifiables to the Gift of the Archmagus quest's optional items pool
  • Making the above quest daily quests instead of Weekly
The top list has enough options that SE can make getting the 210 weapon only 1% or so easier and appease the people wanting 210 step to be nerfed. Of tcouse this all depends on if all the subsequent steps are as quick and easy as the current one, which seems very unlikely
