SE enough of the treadmill, please make the game more interesting!

[Firepower]

I came across this issue this patch to be honest. I've played continuously since 2.0 open beta and it hasn't been a problem until this patch, I don't really like any of the current jobs, I was kind of hoping that Ninja's release would rekindle some interest although i didn't really enjoy the mudra system so i went back to MNK. I stayed away from coil 2 and will stay away from final coil too as i have no interest in raiding and did every other content available.

Since open beta it has been somewhat like this:

Collect philosophy tomes and i55,i60 gear
Do ifrit
get i55 weapon
Do garuda,
get 2 - 3 pieces of darklight
Do titan
get relic.
--------------
mythology to cap weekly for i90 (grind atma, mythology for animus, novus)
soldiery to cap weekly for i100
hunts for sand for i110 (grind nexus light)
poetics for i120
patch 2.45? grind something else for upgrade to i130 (super grind for next relic level)

I think the point i'm trying to make is that before they started the treadmill it worked quite well farming dungeons for gear to just survive the attacks of the next primal so you could work towards the relic was entertaining and exciting, now the next patch comes along everyone zergs into the next primal wipes the floor with it and then just grinds the dungeons for tomes and trades the dungeon gear to npc for seals. What happened to places like Castrum and Praetorium. Perhaps this will all start over again in the expansion when the level cap is raised to 60. But i am also becoming quite concerned about the relic weapon and the length of the quest to push it to an equivalent patch level item. For instance the ironworks weapons are i120/i130 yes they require a bunch of poetics and a final coil of bahamut drop right now but in 2.45 its likely they will drop that into CT like they did with 2.35. For the relic to be equal to that as a fresh 50 (farming 3rd CT for item + saving poetics) you will have to get crafted relic, ifrit, garuda, titan, soldiery for oil, mist, grind atma, animus books, ink, alexandrite, light and the next grind for the i120 weapon. The treadmill is designed to shortcut fresh 50s up to i100 i110 very quickly now with uncapped soldiery and mass drops in ST but the relic quest just keeps getting longer which eventually will just put everyone except the people already at the highest level from bothering to get one.
