Relic weapon - give it meaning

why is it unlikely? because they have never done it till now? well NEWSFLASH. there was never a lvl cap raise ever before on this game and thats the sole factor while you cannot compare it to anything before. so youre comparing something that CANNOT be compared at all sry. this isnt lile a patch 2.6 like some of you guys may think itll be. its a completly new endgame and even yoschida already said so himself.
they will allow new players to skip coil entirely and still play the new raid aswell. its already confirmed.

you want a reason as to why? think about this : no tombstone gear since tombstone are max level things and max level is now 60. old instances dropping rng based loot. new player arrives at lvl 50 finishes jobquest and mainstory quest. then needs to kill new hm primals and clear snowcloak and other instances with i50 gear? there is no more tons of max geared lvl 50 players carrying em. they are GONE. they are all at lvl 60 by then. so you think devs will let new players be stuck at lvl 50 with thier story until they are lvl 60 or have farmed rng based instance loot for outdated lowlevel content? not gonna happen mate lol. just not gonna happen. you will see ^^ thats always the case on any mmo who has a mainstoryquest and raises its lvl cap. lotro is a good example. and there it was the same even with story quests. didnt need to finish old ones to access new ones after lvl cap raise. they will stay. new players CAN do then. but they wont be NEEDED to advance into heavensward.

some people here seem to see the xpac as a bigger patch 2.6 its not guys. its definitly a HUGE difference this time. and you just cannot compare it to any of the past patches they did because it works different. anyone who played an mmo with lvl cap raises will probaly have a good idea of whats gonna happen. since doing it any other way blocks new players out and therefore loses potential customers which is not something ANY modern developer will do.
