I just don't understand why RME holders are subject to a large hurdle to get their weapons current again?
RMEs themselves already take a considerable amount of: time, money, or both, to be able to even get the base weapon. From there, they already take another hurdle to even get to 119. Why does it seem difficult to give players that already own RMEs to be able to easily upgrade to make their weapon equal to Aeonics?

It does not make sense to me.
