Relic atm isn't about having a "Now" weapon, it's more about an "investment in the future", as you will have a constantly evolving weapon that can be with you for the rest of expansion.

Atm, Ilv 210 weapons is nothing but bragging rights, you can do everything in the game with an ilv 200 weapon (which you get for free by doing the relic, I guess people just pissy about the last step which sours their mood about the previous steps). About the faith in the FF14 development team, I wouldn't have so much faith in them, considering the many times they dropped the ball (repeatedly) on housing, crafting, PLD and other such topics.

If you truly want to make people motivated to do CT/Coils, get them a reward to make up for all the potential pain that dfing will bring, and also try to get the Thordan weapon, much easier to learn the fight and win against him 10 times than burn yourself out on a massive grind.
