I don't know if anyone made a post already...

I find it slightly annoying the only reward to have grind a Zeta is to make the first step of 3.1 easier. Don't get me wrong, I guess it's nice it's gonna be easier but it does not motivate me to finish my WHM relic because at this stage, it's completely pointless.

What I mean is I've grinded my relic when the grind wasn't nerfed. It won't bother me to skip The Animus to Zeta grind to deal with that extra grind for 3.1 Relic. For my Black Mage, at least, the difference between Dreadwyrm Staff and Lilith Rod Zeta is about 1 int DPS gain. Granted, it helps the none-raiders but nothing more.

As far as I am aware, the only thing you gain from doing this relic now is the title <Z> which you'll be able to get in Heavenwards I'm assuming. I was hoping when expansion would come I'd get something permanent for all my work like an item, mount, minion, title that won't be obtainable like Feats of Strength in WoW. This does not affect gameplay, it only rewards the old players that worked to get it.
