There is a big difference. Back in the abyssea era relics were upgraded at the same time empyreans came out. Empyreans got to 85, relics/mythics got to 85 in the same patch, empyreans got to lv90 relics/mythics were 90 in the same patch and so on.

Now all we got is new weapons come out with 100+ base damage over 99 r/m/e and SE says, we have an outline of something we might do to boost up lv99 R/E/M but we don't know if we have the man power to implement it or not.
