This whole Zeta progress supposedly carrying over?

So, a hot topic lately has been the progress of the Zeta relics providing some sort of bonus to the new relics created in Heavensward.

Expansions are for gear resets in most MMOs. In all honesty this is the best way to roll out an expansion as such your progress and achievements in a previous expansion should only ever merit for better leveling gear and glamour options. They should never have any sort of impact at the following expansion's max level outside of the above.

It takes time and effort you say? Sure you've endured some mindless grinding and spent a handful of gil to get the weapons you have now but that shouldn't entitle the player to receive anything further then the intended decent weapon you have worked towards.

Just an opinion from an MMO vet who has been around and still plays them quite often.

I don't mind them not carrying over as much, but more so them nerfing it so it's easier to acquire for Glamour throwing out the only reason I spent time on it myself (I don't do hardcore content, so Ironworks weaponry would have been fine for me). Guess we'll see how much they nerf if it, and if it's significantly I'll hold out on the 3.0 relic until 4.0.

There is no way the bonus is going to be anything more than skipping some of the new relic path and perhaps some glitz, getting fixated on your relic being an eternally bis weapon is getting stuck in a XI mindset and not coming to terms with that this is a vertical progression game. Every other piece of gear is rendered obsolete over time and the effort to obtain them was for the moment, there is no reason why this should be an exception.

New players shouldn't be faced with an always enlarging mountain of gear catch up because the old guards want to lord over with forever bis gear, that's how you make a game if you hate new players and yoshida certainly does not hate new players.

I was expecting the whole quest line to be significant for a few expansions. It's a good system though a bit grindy, which can be easily remedied with increased droprates or reduced objectives.

I think the devs were trying to encourage social interaction (while recycling content), it was intented to be an epic, but instead i highly believe the devs took more heat from the community than praise over the questline.

So lets just axe it.
