This was a crappy deal all the way around, but probably more so for the people who decided to farm and buy dynamis coins etc for Relics, and do the Magian trials for Empys, AFTER SE announced they were going to fix the R/M/Es. The reason I specified after is because once it was made known that the R/M/Es were definitely going to be upgraded they hustled out there and busted ass farming and camping etc to get it done in just a couple of short months rather than doing it leisurely like a lot of the people who already had those weapons did, and after they'd blown their fortunes, and worked tirelessly for just a few short months getting them done in time for the upgrade, SE pulls this maneuver on everyone. That isn't to say I don't feel bad for the people that already had them, but I think a lot of the R/M/E owners had already written them off as a lost cause, and had moved on to delve weapons, I know quite a few people who were building them simply because they didn't have the "right" jobs leveled to get into delve, or they'd leveled the "right" job so they could get into delve, but didn't have delve gear so no reindeer games for them. A few people I knew on Bahamut viewed it as a way for them to get the weapons they wanted for their jobs after all, and it's really sad that SE gave them, (and everyone who had them before SoA), such a hard slap in the face for all the time and effort put into this
