The point is we don't know what the Mythic will need (why do people keep saying Relic when we have a Relic already. It's in the quest name and everything, "A Relic Reborn"). It might need the Esoteric weapon, it might not. The only thing we do know is it's coming soon... that's about it. No point /backhanding people for thinking one way or the other. They could be easing access to the upgrade items specifically for Mythic, or it could just be repeating what they did for Ironworks. I'm holding out for implementation before I make any real judgements, as should everyone else.
