So, this is besically a remake of your thread from 2 days ago in which you talked about how you dislike the gear-progression in this game?

Let me tell you what I got after two years of SB:

I got all my Ex-primal mounts and the fox-mount I wanted since I first saw the foxlady in Yanxia and guessed and hoped that she would turn out to be our "leader"-mount. My ever improving gear helped me to achieve this goal.

I had a lot of fun with my static, playing our way through the second and currently third tier of Omega-Savage. Our improving gear helped us to clear fights with more ease eventually.

I got to see and play through amazing stories - not only the mainstory, but other aswell. Getting better gear allowed me to continue with that.

I'm hoarding pieces of gear for glamour purposes and I will continue to do so!

I only went into Eureka to make the AF-gear-sets dyeable and even though their ilvl is way, way to low to be used for anything... I dont regret that, because they'll serve me as glamour-pieces for the rest of the game. My bard has dyed AF-shoes glamoured right now - the stats dont matter, but the looks... the looks are forever. And I still feel like I achieved something here - and if its only a good looking bard-glamour.

To me, replacing gear was never an issue - but mainly, because I dont consider gear to be my endgoal. I have other endgoals and I achieved almost all of them by playing through Stormblood - most required the help of better gear and stats, so I went and got those better gear. But unless the gear itself looks nice (and thus never loses its value as glamour-piece to me), I dont consider gear something that I achieve but only as means to achieve my real goals.
I have enough to show for the effort I put into this expansion: My mounts, lots of fun, time spent with friends, nice glamour-pieces. Replacing gear that I'm only wearing for the stats has never bothered me and never will.
Gear is a tool, not the endgoal - at least for me.

So much in regards to my feelings towards gear... if you cant share any of those (or similar) feelings in regards to the relic, it might not be worth it to you, thats true.
And its normal to feel unmotivated, burnt out and as if you have nothing to do in the game anymore - taking a break or trying something completly new can help!
Ever since I got all my ex-primal mounts I feel a little lost aswell, but thats okay for me aswell. I got what I wanted, nothing will lose its value to me and I'm ready for Shadowbringers!

I can only advise everyone not to view stats and gear as their endgoal, but rather as means to an end. I understand that reaching the highste ilvl possible might be a valid goal for people, but I'm not sure if thats one thats working out to well in this game! BUT there are other things to work towards - mounts, pets, glamour...
Personally, I'm trying to get through Eureka atm - not because of the relic, but because I wanna see the story, experience the Pyros-actions and maybe get a mount or something out of a lootbox. And no expansion, no ilvl-raise, no new gear is going to take any of that away from me.
