This is a recipe for disaster. What do you mean by "insane requirement"? Several dozens of hours for just one weapon? Or you have some skill-based method in mind? Either way, both methods would probably result in a failure. Players are not too fond of long grind as pagos showed. Also, the average ffxiv player is very unskilled.

The zeta weapon was released at the end of ARR if I remember correctly, way after the final coil.
