Is it time for relics to be the same ilevel as savage weapons?

[Vhailor]

I think it is. We invest so much time on these relics and are still lower in ilevel than savage weapons.
Time and difficulty should cancel out and be the same at the end of the day in my opinion. It worked in realm reborn, it should work again.

On par, hell - I think they should be superior. The best weapons in FFXI weren't dropped from the hardest content; they were ground out, painfully, over months and years. There's no reason it should be any different here.

Edit / Addition:

Alternatively, how would you guys feel about raiders being able to get the relic weapon via raiding as an alternative to mindless grinding? Would you feel slighted?

"Mindless grinding" is a phrase that encapsulates Raids in FFXIV, too, you know. There's just less of it (vs the Relic weapons), and the patience factor has as much to do with other people as anything else.
