I'm not opposed to additional weapons costing less, but I suspect obtaining the plutons/beit/bourders will become easier over time which would effectively be the same.

S-E very rarely adjusts the requirements for RME upgrades and not in the context of rewarding holders of multiple RME.
No. If anything it'll become harder: just look at how painful making empyreans is in the first place. No one does the relevant content anymore in sufficient numbers.

Unless all future content drops RME 119 currency, soon very few people will be doing anything that generates them as bridge gear makes it easier for new players to skip directly to end game content, avoiding all the stuff prior.
