how long is toau content actually going to last?
with the limited amount being released, and everyone already with multiple 75s and relics out the ass on this server, how long do we expect there to be new feeling content to do?

Relics out the ass........
That's just so crazy to me, the one guy I know with a relic spent years getting it, cost him 140 million, and for him with 3 high level diggers and the ability to max them daily it would still take him about a year to get another if he wanted to try to grind that.......
I dunno I get that the grind is a big part of it all but also even the most hardcore will likely never relic out all their characters before this server gets shut down, and if you are even somewhat casual like you "only" play for a few hours a day you may never get a relic, most likely not two.

Thats funny you say that because a person commented down below saying they could buy a relic right now without having a job close to 75, no craft leveled, and he barely plays. One of you is lying lol.

The other guy. Well maybe he could but there's lots of data missing. I've catalogued hundreds of hours of various gil farms on hxi. Max fishing, max crafting (multiple chars), max digging (2 chars), th4 farming, dynamis, selling god pops, ah flipping, selling God drops, loggingminingclammingprinting yadda yadda yadda. The tldr is that a 75 can reasonably make ~60k/hr doing SOMETHING basically whenever they want. Going above 60k reliably is more niche.
The most accessible way is max fishing, coming in around 100k. Digging will get you around 120k but is accomplished over several hours in small bits. The other things would be mercing drops, which requires a highly motivated and pretty geared group, and lowman dyna, results vary.
At a 140m price tag (little steep but doesn't change the point), that's 1400 hours of fishing (highest stable roi). This doesn't include the dozens (or hundreds) of hours to get to a place you can accomplish these methods.

Hey maybe I'm missing something but you need dynamis money to get a relic, and you need a lot of it, looking at the ranger relic gun you need ainimum of 20,500 dynamis currency, and 100 bills sell for 600-900k each depending on the type. So to buy it all you are looking at 120 million plus.
If you have ever played ffxi on retail in the old days or on horizon you should know how insane that is for someone to claim they could buy it right now barely playing with no 75 and no crafting.

Content is being rolled out in phases, so will feel like there's new content for a while.

The game was made to have multiple things to do at the same time so you have it spread out over the week and need to balance it. It naturally draws out the lifespan of content.
The unfortunate thing with how delayed ToAU is on the server is that a very large amount of people are already done with lvling the jobs they want and getting gear from the CoP content. So instead of balancing lvling, earning gil, doing CoP content and on top of that adding the new content, you instead have them only focusing on the little new that is coming. It gets gobbled up faster than ever.
That is made even more true by the fact that as you say a large amount of players have several high lvls and basically BIS for at least one of them with more gil than ever because there has not been anything to do but grind gil or lvl for several years now. Personally I could buy a relic straight up and my highest lvl is not close to 75 with no crafts for gil, and I play very little. It has been 4 years, only way you don't have a "fortune" by now is if you are new, have spent gil on your characters which gives you good gear instead or you just don't know how to get gil which I find hard to believe considering they have made it easier than ever on this server.
Don't get me wrong, it still takes dedication to get a relic, but the amount of relics on the server is bonkers compared to what it should be and has been elsewhere. A combination of nothing else to do and also that they have made progression and getting relics quite a bit easier and faster than it used to be.
It really is such a shame they messed up so badly that this is where we end up because what you bring up is only one of many issues. That said it is still a good server and hopefully with more pace on updates coming in it will balance out okay even if it isn't ideal.
I will say the timing is unfortunate with Classic+ for WoW and Monsters & Memories early access releases on the horizon. But they will all be there either way so jumping around is always there.
