"Coming into its own" is too much!

Took me 5hrs to get the crystals (even though i had the Zeta weapons). Took me 2 weeks to get all the 80 items by just doing beast tribes and dailies and logging off. Played about 2-4 hours a day didn't feel the need to farm my self to boredom so i logged off after the dailies were done. Gathered and crafted all my items in probably 8 hrs spread out with in 3 days. Spent a total of around 3k because i was too lazy to go and mine one node. I work long hours, days off/after work i play

there's a lot to do but unlike 3.3 Anima you have more ways of getting the items (hunts/seals, beast tribes, tombstones, treasure maps)

With 2 weeks of play time you can only get 12 items through beast quests, which means it would have taken roughly 23,120 Esoterics and Poetics tomes in order to fill out the remaining 68 items. Even if you did every economical roulette for the bonus (Main Scenario, Trial, Leveling, 50, & 60) that would only net you with 4.760 bonus Eso and 2,640 bonus Poetics, which is a far cry from the amount you would need. It would be more realistic if you said 2 months instead of 2 weeks.

People keep saying can't expect them to make it too easy to obtain the best weapon, firstly it is not the best weapon. Secondly the part the OP is complaining about only bumps the weapon up to 210 and not 240. I can very much understand why someone would think the amount of work in this stage just to go from 200-210 is not reasonable. While people will be harder pressed to argue about the overall amount of work required to hit 240, there is a valid argument to be had about the various stages not being equally balanced in terms of effort vs reward for them.

Each stage is not equally shared in terms of amounts of effort and for a pretty low stage this requires a lot of effort, perhaps too much when just going from 200 to 210. It might have been better to more equally share out the burden across all stages rather than making some extremely hard while others easier and if they are to make some easy and some hard then the hard ones should be in the latter stages and not the early ones.
