I'm sorry but I am certain they won't. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make business sense. You released an expansion with lots of new things and contents and you want your new customers to get on hand and enjoy it right a launch with existing player base. The relic will be the starting end game weapon for both legacy and new players alike most likely, and the method to obtain it will be a much more condensed path just like how 1.22 A Relic Reborn was condensed into 2.0's version.
But here's the thing, they don't need the relic weapon, that's what my point was. When they hit the new level cap, assuming they raise it, there will be new weapons that will be as powerful or more powerful than a relic. It's optional content, meant to be a long term goal.
