Why don't you ask the same question towards everyone who gotten weapons from the Coil that got outdated by better Coil weapons and then relic Zetas?

Ffxiv won't last nearly as long if doesn't take some ideas from ffxi.
Coil weapons got outdated but at least you could grind it till you won. Then had to a wait a week to keep farming weapons.
And to the other who said I would complain about if armor didn't have to be changed for a year or longer. No I wouldn't.
Depends on your view I guess.
It took 100s of hours if you did it before they nefted the stages. All for a fancy glowy vanity trophy. By my definition it is a waste as well. Considering you get a better weapon from killing trash in a dungeon that is not even endgame.
Why spend hours slaving and practicing with a static for a coil weapon? They got outdated every 6 months. Why bother getting a relic? They are obsolete now? Why bother getting a tome weapon? They are obsolete in months. Why get ANYTHING in a game that ups the item level cap every 6 mo?
Stop being dense. If you really believed working for an item that becomes obsolete is a waste of time you wouldn't be playing this game. You get it because it's useful when you make it, or glamour, or title, or whatever satisfaction you get out if it. But don't sit here and pretend relics are the only 'waste of time'. This entire game is a rotating door of obsolescence and yet here we all are working for gear every day that will become obsolete. Go rain on someone else's parade. People make relics and like it. Get over it.
pfff its only a matter of time before ESO caps are removed and everyone starts running around with ilv 200 gear.
