You're right! Increase all of Coil to 60 because I deserved that gear because I got it while it was fresh too! And my gear from Alexander better be upgraded too when the second part is released! As well as make the ilvl requirement for Coil and Alexander always equal to the newest stuff! Why? BECAUSE I WORKED HARD FOR THAT WHEN IT WAS USEFUL!

Because that's how you sound.

You used FFXI as an example several times. Sure, your weapon was the top of its league. Sure, you could upgrade it more after they upped the level cap. But for the majority of the game? There was no vertical progression, only horizontal. That meant that gear released with new expansions was generally on par with what you got from the last one.

FFXIV, however, offers vertical progression. Are you currently using your relic? No? Why not? You worked SO hard for it.

The point is, relics are no longer a symbol as they once were. There's no point in making people grind through old content. That's why they gave more experience and better gear for quests, because who wants to grind through old stuff? You'll get your new status symbol starting in 3.1. You won't give a damn about your relic then.
