New weapons with higher base damage then relics

[Concerned4FFxi]

No, its easy to understand, and yet, its not like the weapons are simply being left as they are, or that people do not do things which are equally as pointless. People go buy gear like the Hexed -1 gear that is hundreds of millions of gil, some pieces are more expensive than Relics, and yet, they buy them, and some of it gets out dated every update, look at the Khepri hat, it was out done this Expansion as a WS head, the new WS legs out do Tenryu for SAM on Shoha I believe, but win for Relic and Emp WSs still, for now. People spend a ton of money on items, in my opinion, anything you are willing to put the money into, plan to have it outdated at some point, because chances are it will be for a bit, if not forever.

No, its not an exact comparison, it is an investment that people made on a weapon which at the time was highly sought out and used, it had a high price and rightly so, but then once the level cap was taken to 80, its price and worth diminished a bit, and ever since it has went down hill for that weapon. Right now, RME are still second~third best at worst, its not like they suddenly had 5 new weapons of each category pop up and instantly beat it, all of it able to be bought like the armors are at the Peacekeepers. Also as I said, in this case the investment has no return, it has upgrades, those RMEs can be upgraded to a level where they becoming stronger again possibly, now if that change makes them weaker still, then fine, yes, we all have reason to rage, till then, not really. For now I see it as though we are all of those old Relic owners who had their Relics at 75, which were out done till SE gave them trials to make Relics not suck as much anymore.

except, after attaining hexed -1 gear and augmenting it, months later there's no update to send you thru a bunch of grueling trials to further augment, after you spent millions and then immediately find out is was a waste of time. That's the difference here. Also, SE had a habbit of keeping r/m/e on top. That's why they got the upgrades orginally. There's shit in this game that supposed to always be a solid investment, like k-club. SE broke balance, trying to set the game up for the next ten years and sell SOA. That's the kinda BS that keep the neo-limbus gear down , too.
