The state of the 210 relic step is absolutely untenable vs. the effort required for a 210 eso weapon.
This is a moot point though, because the point of doing a relic weapon is really now to get an i230 weapon. The way this is designed, you can start from scratch and work toward an i210 weapon... and by the time you get there, you can also have the supplies needed for an essentially free i210 to i230 upgrade.

There's no problem here. You can't sit on the sideline and then complain about not being spoon fed fast enough.
