Do you really think it's fun?

The only upside to all of this is that there are options out the gate other than relic.

/point Leviathan Weapons / T8 + Tokens.

Those aren't the Relic weapon, which is a cornerstone of character development and will have continuous upgrades throughout the life of the game. Those other weapons are a stopgap at best, something to use while you work on the Relic upgrade quests.
