Don't worry, I'm sure they will implement things where you still have to do the first zone even when they release more zones. I will be really surprised if they don't. I mean even if they just randomly added Pazuzu feathers to later relic steps, boom, all of a sudden people are still in Anemos and almost requires 0 work from them. If it becomes a big problem they'll just nerf the exp curve which just requires them to tinker with numbers.

Just like the new 24 man upgrade items probably requires a coin from Rabanastre in addition to the new coin from Ridorana. And when they release the 3rd 24man 2 patches from now you'll need a coin from all 3, etc.

At this point, they're pros when it comes to this kind of thing.

Yeah, I have to agree that Anemos wasn't particularly engaging to me either. Never did get that mount, but after getting my barding and the stuff I needed to upgrade the things I wanted I called it good. Have to wonder what Pagos will offer, though. I know the relic armor upgrade is on hold, but what of the weapons? I guess we can probably expect new loot too. If it turns out to be anything like Anemos though, it's going to be a drag.

I just got all 4 job chars geared with a combo of eureka, sigma and 360 tomes. The mendacity weekly cap from running the NM train for 3 hrs a week was a blessing even though it was a grind. I am not an avid raider and hate the way people behave in general raids so I avoid them. If they don't continue upgrade availability in created content like Eureka, I won't stay in this game.

I mean we are fine with having x amount of relic steps so having to upgrade your gear too would be fine too imo. I mean people are not forced to upgrade them through that. But I am not sure if we get five stages (even if the elemental names kinda point to it) because that would either mean that we go way further with the 4.x patches or have Eureka even go into the next expansion which would be a bit odd. (Because they would suddenly make it a lvl 80 content or something like that)
