"b-b-b-b-but I wanted to be the only person with a relic" - every relic thread, forever.

Seriously, Titan being sold/bought isn't "devaluing" your relic status. The quest chain can be completed in under a day by people who know what they're doing and have even a semi-competent group to play with. If Titan couldn't be purchased, you'd still have tons of relics out there because of the crazy speed at which you can complete the chain.
