    It's not just about items currently available. If there were no cap on poetics, they wouldn't be able to use them in future grinds as anyone with a large sum would be able to "skip" the step, defeating the purpose of the grind. I'll take grinding tomes for a relic over Eureka any day.

    But poetics are currently only used for past content and it has been that way for some time now. Even for the new crafting recipes some of the items require Mendacity and not poetics. that will be different after the launch of ShB mainly because the gear would be outdated and no one in their right mind would want to spend time crafting a set only to out level it really quickly.

    Now granted I didn't take a look at the relic weapons for Heavensward but I can only assume the items needed you had to buy using the current tomes of that time (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). It wouldn't make sense to make current relevant content with the use of poetics in mind as it would essentially just make it trivial due to no weekly cap on it.
