It probably has something to do with the early riot about the Zenith being the same ilvl as the Coil weapon. It shown that people were focused on "having the highest ilvl" instead of simply "overcoming the challenge".

Considering the Relic takes its roots in FFXI, the current weapon is actually the closest to the first "relic" concept. I agree it's interesting to have more lore tied to it, but I think it's actually clever to restrict the relic to a single content to open more lore option. Having everything simply be "more items bought with tomestones" is just really bland in my opinion. It's sad that the FFIII incarnation of Eureka was supposed to be this land filled with ancient and powerful weapons, and that we got none of it in XIV.

You're the only one that can answer this question. I personally like doing the relic as a personal goal. I don't really care about how competitive it is.

What I describe is not my logic, it's SE's reasoning. My reasoning is that capped tome should not provide gear, because it's an extremely lazy way to gain such a powerful gear. Also, raid, primal and additionnal content should provide different types of reward, because if one content gives everything, it just kills the other content.

And everyone will be happy, then. And it's more mature that asking to remove/stop creating a content just because you don't like it when everything else in the game already fits your view.
