There comes a point where you have to use poetics to purchase gear for desynth. Because eventually vendor or dungeon gear won’t give you as much of an increase anymore as tomestone gear. It’s not like poetics are used much for jobs unless you are leveling them. If you aren’t leveling them, then they have no use. Plus, like I said before, poetics are not that hard to come by.

For relic...most people will quit at trying to get into snowcloak. If they persist, the light step will kill them; many of the best ways to get it no longer pop frequently if at all. I don't think it will be a draw for many people. SE will have to start to do something about teh lack of incentives for old content; I spend 16 min some days just trying to get intro trials as a rdm.
If the person is a level 70 doing a Zodiac weapon or Anima weapon, they can unsync all the dungeons; waiting in queues isn’t necessary. This also works for the light steps as well. May be a bit more time consuming to unsync the level 60 dungeons for Anima relics as opposed to doing A1S or A9S light farming groups, but still doable solo or with a friend/couple of people. No queues necessary.
