Make relics have the same iLVL as the Raid weapons and released at the same time

Why do you care? Item levels end up about the same in the end anyway, with maybe a 5 item level difference on the weapons and maybe 1 accessory. People like their characters to get stronger. I'm assuming that's partly why people do higher end content to begin with.

To clarify my point, I believe that the hardest difficulty content (raiding) should give the best reward in terms of power. Grinding out a relic or doing tomestone grinding isn't as difficult honestly, and thus should have a lower ilevel until pre-expansion when ilevels are getting reset anyways. My point was more that if ilevel beyond the base isn't actually a requirement for defeating the hardest content in the game, then the counterpoint of "why do you need a higher ilevel for content you aren't doing" is irrelevant because no one really "needs" it.

If you have an exceptionally talented group then that's true. Otherwise the majority needs the cushion provided by higher level gear to have a decent chance of clearing.

My counterpoint: find a better group and get better at the game then.
