They've said they're nerfing some more of the zodiac chain (probably the zodiac dungeon drops). I expect that to happen with this upcoming patch.

Other than that though, I don't think they'll make it any easier to obtain a zodiac or zeta weapon.

A new player starting in Heavensward simply doesn't need it. They just won't have whatever the advantage is going in to the 3.1 shrelic weapon build.
