But... but no i200 > i210 anima nerf...?

I am guessing they will nerf it during the downtime between the final HW patch and the new expansion.

I doubt it'd be that long. I don't remember when they started dolling nerfs out to early Zodiac, but it was around midway through ARR, if I recall. Would've liked even a tiny nerf. Like, half way done with my own anima after getting burnt out because of the grind. Dreams broken. Crying.

Welcome to working on a relic before it's just glam.

Too early to say
I can't remember that one of the Zodiac nerfs was announced in a live letter. Just wait for the patch note. It also depend on how grindy the new step is.
A not nerfed ilevel 210 step can mean an easy ilevel 240 step (like the ilevel 230 step)

The anima weapon was mentioned, as shown by the unofficial translation. They're increasing the droprate on the crystals for the first step, without any adjustments to the i200->i210 step.

So the i210 step likely won't see any adjustments until the next relic step, after the one in 3.3.

The reasoning they gave for increasing the crystal drop rate seemed a bit odd, unless there was something lost in translation. More people having more of the unidentified items than the crystals (which is what it currently sounds like is their criteria here) makes sense because of how many you need (80 versus 18) and you generally spend a lengthier amount of time on that particular step than on the crystal step.

So yeah, unless there was something lost in the translation, that seems like an odd reason to nerf that specific step.
