Relics are nothing but glamour now. There's no point in keeping them ridiculously difficult to obtain when they're no longer relevant.

I had a High Allagan weapon back when T9 was still a major blockade for most players. I don't care at all that people can go in and undersize it and faceroll it for the weapons at this point because the weapons are outdated. Having one was nice back when it was one of the best weapons you could have, but now that it's not, I don't begrudge other people the right to get them more easily for glamour. I can still be proud of my own accomplishment without feeling the need to attack other players for not getting their weapon the "right" way.
