So, you're wanting to "grind" for the i270 gear in the same amount of time it would take the "instant gratification" raiders to get theirs? Current raid level gear is nothing more than an achievement title you can wear. It's not needed for ANY content. You don't get a leg up on another player because you have the i270 chest piece versus the i260. Furthermore, depending on class requirements, raid tier gear may not even be BiS.

I do agree that the relic weapon should be at a minimum the same ilvl as savage for each patch. Since it really is the only grindable piece of battle equipment in the game.
