Please no more Eureka!

Secondly, as a thought experiment, if the previous relics had the sheer number and kind of rewards that Eureka has attached to it, I'm fairly confident that 8.58% would be much higher.

The question is, where would you put those rewards? Do I deserve a mount for farming Atmas? I got an upgraded weapon for that, though. Do I deserve a mount for doing 9 books? Do I deserve a hairstyle for farming light? You want to attach more rewards than getting the relic itself for the steps you did solely for getting the relic? There was no new content to add rewards to, since almost every step was just you doing old content that already had its rewards in it (except the first few ARR ones).

Now let's take a really close look at the previous relic. You DO have other rewards there when you do it. You can get a mount if you did your light farming for EX trials (so that's 7 mounts). You can get a minion and bardings if you did the boss fates in each map (so hat's 6 minions in HW and two bardings in total from fates). You can get gear for glamour if you did dungeons to farm for tomes. No hairstyles or furnishing items though (Eureka has only one hairstyle).

Now you might say "But those existed before the relic steps and they're not tied to it". That's true, but not everyone has gotten them, especially the trial mounts. Just like how some people I've been with finally gotten their nightmare mount using BLU. And Eureka rewards are also not tied to the relic.
