Why you need a compensation for getting the best weapon right now? Do I get compesation for getting coil gear too?

You don't get it. He wants compensation for his animus weapon. The weapon that wasn't even BiS when it was relevant. Killing monsters and doing 27 dungeons is a huge deal. It's not like you'll end up running the same dungeon 27 times to get your zodiac drop due to bad RNG.

Still, why compensation for old gear?

I guess sarcasm does work in text? I don't think he should. I don't want anything for my Zeta. I have a Zeta. That's what I got for the time I sunk into making it.

From my understanding, if there is going to be a relic in the next expansion, it's going to be something completely different. Zeta was the last upgrade for the current one. I'll be happily using that until the expansion comes out.

Well in my case it isn't the best weapon in the game yet. Even at animus it is only IL100. You can loot better weapons. it's not unreasonable to expect something for your time. The compensation should depend on how far you have upgraded your zodiac or something. It just feels like I have wasted time upgrading my weapon, if it is getting replaced in the expansion.

Your compensation is having access to an evolving weapon that can become stronger, as well as a weapon skin for glamor.

Thoug I'll admit if we got our zeta, I'd like to skip the first 1-2 steps of the next grind. Something to make it feel less like a dead end to the relic.

Still dont understand why expecting something for "old gear". The time you are investing is for that weapon not for something later on. Same with all the old gear, you try to get it to use it now not expecting some kind of reward later on. Almost all top gear get replaced on the next patch. That what people wanted, they wanted a linear progression were old gear became obsolet by new and shinies. I'm not saying is wrong just not expect too much out of it. Just at an example look how the people that did the relic on 1.0 got the short end of the stick when 2.0 hit and all their effort were in vain because 2.0 relic were so easy to get comparing it with 1.0.

What makes the Relic line the best weapons in the game isn't their iL, it's their stats. After Novus there's no other weapon like it, it's perfectly tailored to how you want making it the absolute best you can ever have because YOU made it that way. It's not wasted time, either, because it was time spent making the best weapon in the game. So you stopped before the part where it would have shined, that's no fault of Square. That's on you, and just you. The quests are there, waiting for you to continue improving your weapon. Mythic isn't going to change that, the quests are STILL going to be there. Mythic is going to be for those that want something else, be it burned out on Relic grind or can't afford it.

All your time spent on your zeta will be wasted come 3.0. Properly melded they are the best weapons until 3.0 and maybe 3.1. SE is going to throw zeta holders a bone when it comes to starting the new quest but I wouldn't expect much. They are planning on a lot of new players and they won't make them crawl through the zeta steps to enjoy new content.
