So does the majority want the relic weapons to carry over into the expansion?

Why bother, if it's not going to carry over?

This is the nature of MMOs unfortunately. Gear that players spent a lot of time and energy on get replaced by the new gear.

Not the MMO's i've played, took me 4 months to fully upgrade my artifact weapon in DAoC, that was back in 2005, I used it all the way untill I left 2 years ago because it was still relevant for endgame. Dunno why people have such an aversion to options, if there isn't a clear cut BiS, then people get angry.

Well that may be an oddity when it comes to things like this. The vast majority of the recent MMOs have followed this path. They have already set that precedent in this game with myth > solidery > poetics gear.

Certainly not against options. It just seems like the logical conclusion that they would start all players off on the same foot when the expansion comes out. It is the simplest of steps for them to worry about. Otherwise they will have to make a great deal of changes to the, then old, upgrade quests.

I have no doubt that the expansion will have a relic weapon for players in some form, however it does not seem likely they would develop that quest line in addition to making vast changes to the former line.

Not really though, none of the other gear and weapons in the game have required as much time and energy as the relic. The whole POINT of relic is that is was presented as something that you could have grow and level up with you.

I really don't care that all the other gear gets quickly replaced because frankly it wasn't much effort, and only took time because of the weekly caps. Coil gear is more effort, but again that has always been known to have a shelf-life, that the next raid's gear would be more powerful.

Relic's whole thing is that it's legendary and can keep getting stronger.

Considering the lore around it I don't think they should make having done relic meaningless.
