Folks need to remember that the relic weapons are a gear path that was deliberately added for non-raiders to have a way to get good gear. So saying it becomes obsolete within a month is really not very accurate if you consider the relic from the point of view of a player who doesn't raid, or run EX trials. For those players the relic matters, and it's for that group that this exists as a way to obtain a good weapon through grinding not raiding.
