I have a feeling that most of the people crying that relics need to die did not obtain anything other maybe an 85 empy. It's a massive time/gil sink to actually build a relic/mythic/emp to 99 and to have that suddenly made useless is more or less a slap in the face to those that stuck it out. Now what I do hope happens is this will kill the 85 emps once and for all since the idea that a half finished weapon counts as a fully upgraded weapon has gone on a bit to long.
