How about we wait and see what the future holds? It seems like the new content with Delve really needs the big guns to take good advantage of, not to mention the fact that there are zones that we don't have access to yet. There will surely be stronger foes leading up to the last battle, and perhaps they would like us to have that old school sense of challenge and accomplishment with the new weapons that seem so outrageous at first. If a R/E/M is brought up to the same level as these new weapons, along with their additional effects and whatnot, perhaps the new content would be too "EASY MODE".

I have no doubt that R/E/M will be brought up to speed at some point down the line. The ease and access of these new weapons also levels the playing field so that the entire group participating has a better chance of contributing more, rather than holding out for only R/M/E weapons like Voidwatch tends to make players do. I know if I was a developer and I saw people doing content shouting "RELIC/MYTHIC/EMPYREAN WAR ONLY", it would probably make me think about a simliar path that they have decided to take as well.

Let's support them a little better than this, rather than going Syrian rebellion on everything because something that we have the priveledge of owning isn't at its peak right now.
