Part of the argument could be how..."simple" it was to get ones first relic. It may have been difficult early in 2.0, by the time I got my relic, it was late in patch 2.1 and everything but Titan HM was on easymode farm, and I have no idea how difficult it was in 1.0.

That being said, it is not far fetched to believe that many has come to view Relics as the "starter" weapon, and thus should be easy (or easier) to obtain and upgrade.

SE going to the extreme and adding a FATE grind was them trying to again kill several birds with as few stones as possible, but that just conflicted with the perception of the relic weapons.
