I for one like the way the epic items are obtained in the new content. The old scroll/seal/shrad system made a boring grind all around. However I think this system could be improved upon and made more relevant as our level cap continues to rise beyond 25.

Instead of making items en,eh and ee. Make them upgradeable to differing levels. For example, Epic Black Dragon Helm can be ml 21, ml 23, ml 25, ml 27. Each tier uses commendations of heroism (and maybe some other ings like relics) to upgrade. In addtion, do the same for the old epic items from echrono, VoN, tides, etc. and scrap the scroll/shard/seal system and just make the epic items drop for any new items. Any existing epic items that were created with the old system could then be upgraded.

If commendations were added to some other epic raids in the game and if unique ingredients were added for each pack, then this would make old epics relevant again. Lets keep old content recycled, fresh and relevant.
