I don't have a problem with the weapons. I have a problem with the people that act like they legitimately earned their relics. That act like they deserve better and are owed by SE to adjust the weapons to be #1 without question.
The players that legitimately earned their relics have earned their right to debate those weapons remaining #1. I'm not ill informed on the sacrifices one must make to obtain a relic legitimately. However, I could care less about anyone who wants to play the "my time matters more than yours" card. That pretty much fits everyone who didn't earn their relics legitimately by buying gil or having a LS fund it for them. Which is pretty much everyone that posts in favor of their relics being boosted because legitimate relic owners are so few and far between that I doubt any of them are even here on these forums, at least NA wise. But if they are here, good job on the accomplishment.
I'm aware some LSs have the system in place where a person must do blank amount of work and the LS will foot the bill for the rest of the way. I'm mixed on that but I guess ultimately if you at least earned your way to the point of getting help legitimately then you too deserve the right to debate for changes.
Overall I'm mixed on the weapons themselves. While I have a passionate view about how it all comes down to wasting your time on a video game and it doesn't matter what you do while playing it, I am not oblivious to the fact that time is precious in any form and players are owed something for playing this game with the assumption that it would never go past lv 75. We only have mere seconds to at best 130 years of life after we are born. It's not a lot of time and the last thing we want is to feel any of that time is being wasted. In that respect perhaps relics should be better than Empyreans hands down.
