Relic weapons situation post expansion

[Prototype909]

Why do they have to make it easier? Doesn't that go against the entire concept of a relic weapon in the first place? You don't have to use a relic. There are plenty of alternative weapons to choose from.

Expecting 3.0 era players to have to go through the same grind that players currently doing all this had to go through is insane, especially when shortcuts already exist - after long enough they should exist for the older parts of the relic too so long as the 3.0 equivalents remain similar to what exists now. The idea isn't to make it easier, but rather to allow new players a method by which to catch-up. Otherwise you're effectively going to lock them behind the grind.
