the "relic" and "anima" and whatever 4.0 version of it should not be powerful

Jealous isn't the right word. More like, I am annoyed that braindead grinds are given the same merit and achievement as mastering the game when it is clearly not the same thing.

I can understand it but you'll have to think that the anima weapon is not an Alexander weapon. They are still two different weapons and people shine the A12S weapons in a different light. The game doesn't work if they only give things to the tiny player base that clears the hardest content, it has to be accessible.
It's more of a time thing, they want the relic players to keep playing their game for many many hours, as a result the reward must be desirable and a glamour would not have the same effect.

You could argue that you don't need to do savage Alex to upgrade shire gear anymore, it's just what happens :/ there'll be something new for raiders to get, then the rest of the players can get it much easier
