Or do Magian trials to upgrade your old weapon and live in the past; you should be glad that the developers even gave you that option to begin with. World of Warcraft has similar weapons, and with every expansion or raid they become outdated. In that game, players readily accept that. Why can't you?

The point of any MMO is to get new gear, not to use the same weapon from 4 years ago. Mythics and empyreans were a step in the right direction. The game is evolving and it's better than it ever has been, relic owners need to evolve with it and stop crying.
I pretty much agree on all points. The only real opinion I have about Relic weapons, in general, is that most of the additional effects are lame, most of the WS are lame and most of the aftermath effects are lame.

60%AGI mod on Geirskogul? Shock Spikes as an aftermath? Seriously...

The additional effects need to be updated or replaced entirely. Most of the WS need to be seriously reinvented... status modifiers and TP modifier values need to be adjusted and/or changed. WS that look like they're multi-hit should be... I always thought that was ridiculous. Most of the aftermath effects are garbage. Relics need to become more stream-lined like Empyrean weapons are.
