    Uhh.... tomesstones.
    Tomestones aren't much of a motivator. We only have one type that anyone really cares about, and that's Lore which has a cap of 450 per week. I don't know anyone who hasn't already either capped poetics or ran out of reasons to do so. That's literally every level 50 roulette right there (most of them). Esoterics are only useful if you're levelling a new class and want some quick gear, but you'll get tons of those just doing runs for Lore tomes anyway.

    So yeah, we need a reason to want to run this stuff or it's going to die out fast.

    Maybe you were just bad.
    Dohohohoh, aren't you cool, internet tough guy?

    So far I don't see any real shortage of people running the current weeklies (VA, Midas)

    The crystal tower weeklies, they're still hard to get queues for, sure... but you have to admit that prior to this recent anima update, it was even worse.

    Do Anima questline, and even poetics will be a rare tome for you that you can't have enough and eso will be still in need.

    This pretty much.

    I can easily deck out all my alt classes in eso stuff - but any further progression is pretty much weekly capped. So once I did my Midas/Capped lore, only reason to run content is for glamour or to help mates. And too many people don't ask if anyone wants to come along :<

    That is also a good point. Once you cap lore the content suddenly rewards even less for doing it. The esoterics are still needed tho, so why couldn't we have a system that once you are capped, you get eso instead of the lore?

    In Wildstar there was something similar. Once you capped you were getting money instead and money allowed you to buy gametime so it was quite nice.

    For me it's the other way around. I go out to farm Eso and happen to get Lore while I'm doing it.

    Working on multiple relics = tons of Esoterics and let's face it 450/week is a joke to get. xD
