Regardless.. i think its silly to force people to do outdated content to obtain the best weapon in the game (if they uber buffed relic / mythic for some reason)

I don't think their ultimate plan is to make empyreans the end all be all of weapons either.

I'm hopeful that whatever new endgame they release has a new omfgwtfbbq weapon to aim for.

Nothing in the game is currently endgame.. nor should be viewed as such.. suggesting that relics/mythics should always be the best will not help restore balance to the game either.
