Continuing to upgrade them now will not fix this, it will only make it worse.

To that end had they not continued to upgrade RMEs maybe we wouldn't be in this awkward balance fiasco where new content seems impossible without them. People would accept that there's some other way to do the content that's not readily accessible, actually climb this gear ladder devs keep referring to, and stop trying to brute-force their way up the Delve tiers.
There is absolutely no reason why the RME weapons can't be upgraded to an equal or slightly stronger form than the delve weapons themselves via drops from delve thus facilitating the ability for RME owners to keep their weapons while helping out people who just want delve weapons...

Other than you just wanting to see RME owners suffer.

Ideally, both weapons could have strengths and weaknesses. That would add to the popularity of delve or whatever comes after it. Stop acting like people want to just have their damage bonus for free.
