As for the relic weapon it would be nice if it would be possible to upgrade your existing primal weapon (e.g. Ifrits or garudas to ilevel 85/90) by killing the extreme versions of the primes.
For example Garuda drops "a soulstone of wind" to upgrade one of your garuda weapon. (besides jewlery drops of course)
On the other hand it would be more attractive again to kill the "normal versions" first to farm the weapons.. and afterwards the extreme versions to receive a soul stone.
what do you think about it?
- giving incentives to play older content
- more item variety (different stats)

Honestly i90 is about to be pointless. Soon we'll be over i100 or probably even 110. So maybe at that point it would be nice as some sort of method to get higher tier weapons. Maybe.

I agree. more horizontal progression (ie, more il90 weapon choice to attack new content) would really be a good idea

More horizontal progression of any kid would be great.

I think for the folks that already have an i90 weapon, yeah, it won't matter as much.
Wouldn't mind if the Rowena tokens could be used to buy the EX accessories in 2.2 or later. -

As everyone already said; it's pointless since you already get an item for beating the primals every week that's i90.

I feel there should be good vertical progression but it should take time to go up a tier and at each step have horizontal progression to become good enough to be able to step up to the next tier but that would be hard to put in and I don't really have an idea of how they would do it :/

Since we're getting vanity next patch, we could put the Primal weapon skin on a weapon of any iLv.
However, I do think new Primal weapons with particle effects like the Zenith weapons might be cool, like Ifrit weapons that are actually flaming. -

Whether we like it or not, SE is going with the vertical progression for most new content.
