Oki so lets say SE do indeed make the relic the best weapon.

So now casual Timmy comes along, grinds out his 1000 Wineport rats and crafts 500 Moogle shaped cupcakes or whatever for his Relic. He's got his big boy pants weapon, he will already have a multitude of sets of 330 tome gear from all the dungeons he's had to do en route to his relic and will promptly get to upgrade it once the 24man hits. Now you tell me, what inclination or motivation does our little casual Timmy have to ever step foot into Savage?

Think about that for a moment.

Do you actually think SE will ever go with an approach that renders that expensive Savage raid obsolete and pointless for the masses before it's even unlocked? The current Relic/Tome/Savage setup allows casuals to have strikingly close gear parity to world first raiders whilst still keeping that little carrot there over the Savage raid to lure people in. What's the issue with that?
