Extreme Primals giving lvl90 weapons

Why do the extreme primals give level 90 weapons when you turn in a drop from all 3?

Most everyone for the most part who seriously does endgame already has a relic+1 they were easy to get, even in their Titan preview video it shows them using all relic +1 to fight Titan extreme.

More level 90 weapons isn't that great of a reward considering we already have them. They might have slightly different secondary stats, which could be slightly better or worse but in the long run it won't make much difference the primary stats and weapon damage will be the same due to it being ilvl 90.

Why not offer a reward that is better then what everyone already has?

why must is always be better? why can't it be a variety?

Personally looking forward to the ways I can gear my alts, but as far as my main goes, wont be adding gear to that until 2.2.

I very like the idea of ilvl 90 weapon for my other Job :)

Because 900 mytho (2 weeks for a weapons) No thanks :)

Great idea for the other job :)

Getting better gear is the motivating factor in a mmo for most people.

Why can't people just have fun? This patch is all about alts. You get the new ilvl 90 weapons for your alts. It would take a very long time to get enough myth tomes to spend on +1 for your alts. EX primals is just another alternative to help people gear up faster.

i'm looking to get my MNK weapon by doing primal extreme... So it may be useless for you but not for everyone. Alternative way are always nice.

Because lazy is in.

Well, the relic isn't BiS for every class. My SCH for example would trade with no problem his relic for a iLevel 90 weapon with + Crit instead of lol Spell Speed.

I agree with this. It sucks to see most people using the exact same gear. It would be nice to see some variety in the game. Oh, so you have n ilvl 90 BLM staff? Which one? Rather than just assume it's the upgraded relic.

I just hope we can do them with level 80 relics. I didn't upgrade because I was looking forward to getting the 90 weapons from primals.

Most MMOs don't have progressive content for at least 9 - 18 months after launch... usually just lateral content.

Linear stats without any unique stats/abilities will do that. 1.0 Curtana enhanced Spirits Within anyone?

You were a little unclear in your OP but I think you're asking for Relic +1 to be reduced to i85 so primal weapons are better. Not a bad idea, but then 900 myth tomes is a lot to waste. I could get behind it as long as they refund the 900 myth and allow people to choose to go +1 or not again with the ilvl reduction.

I like having more than one way to get gear. I have a few level 50 classes and I don't plan on getting relic +1's for each of them.

Well, for one i'm a BRD and I chose to not +1 my Relic until the EM weapons drop. Why? The EM weapon stats might be slotted better for a bard than a +1. I've cleared Coil 6 times. So i'm not in any kind of rush to completing my +1. -shrug- I don't see a problem with them being i90.

Regarding the Titan EM playthrough, I'll be honest, even though Yoshi's group wiped in Phase 2 both times, the fight doesn't actually look that hard. Bit of a DPS check on the jails maybe but nothing people in i90 gear can't handle and looks like there's a tank swapping mechanic as rock/mountain buster apply a stacking debuff in the same way Turn 2 does. The rest just looks like dodging all the crap, same as hard mode.

Vertical Progression. Finally some Variety and more Options.
