Please no more Eureka!

[Auryan]

The extra functionality you're so keen on is only even useful because Eureka was poorly designed. Instead of extra functionality to make the weapon more exciting, they should have just designed Eureka with the inevitable downturn in participation in mind. That weapon is only available to you, especially in the upgraded form that will allow you to solo things, after you've pretty thoroughly exhausted Eureka and likely have little reason to return unless you really want another glamour piece. It's not going to help people who go through Eureka for the first time next expansion. It's like celebrating having a crutch because you need it to walk after shooting yourself in the foot for no reason.

Reducing the other relics to mere "vanity" is obviously unfair as well. Sure, they're just glamour now, but that's most of the gear in this game, and glamour is also about the only reason you'd ever get any use out of your Eureka weapon's extra functionality. At the time, they were BiS (random Diadem drops aside). If you just want free glamour pieces, there are plenty of ways to add those without degrading the relic weapons.

Eureka already has a built-in feature to deal with the future drought of players doing it. All FATEs are scaled to the number of people currently in the instance. If you're the sole person in a zone, you'll likely not run into any problems with most NMs. Boss and rare NMs probably being the exceptions, but with the right job and logo actions I doubt that even they will be impossible. And they will likely nerf it further as well as change BA to compensate for the lack of people.

And like I said earlier, the gear and weapons will help with farming gil, glamour items, mounts and for just silly nonsense. Just because the gear and weapons are no longer needed for max lvl content doesn't mean I or anyone else can't have fun with it. Not everything has to be max lvl to be meaningful. It's like BLU all over again.

I got my lux weapons during HW and they were, in my opinion, too little and too late for the amount of work you put in for them. Especially considering that the tomestone weapons rivaled it and can be gotten for a much less time investment and effort. The anima weapons almost felt superfluous.This is why they needed to change the relic system in order for it to not be as pointless come SB. Well executed it or not, I consider the Eureka weapons having a longer lasting importance than those purple glamour weapons.

BiS only really matters to people that do Savage content. For most people, the highest ilvl will suffice.
