The weapons r/m/e continue to be upgarded to ilvl 119 and are still the best weapons and you can't skip the previous upgrade steps and go straight to 119 you have to do the 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 99 parts as well.

SE is going to release items up upgrade your abyssea armor soon as well so that armor won't be going to waste either.
Well, they didn't do this til everyone freaked out. The initial response to it was that they had no plans to upgrade rme stuff, then the community had a meltdown and they changed their mind... Im pretty sure thats the same reason why the ilvl is still at 119 atm. Note though, that community team comments have suggested that the ilvl cap will eventually go up again which will once again invalidate everything right out of the gate.

This is getting a bit off topic though, unless people are still trying to push that any and all ffxi systems must stay in ffxi and have no right to be anywhere else. Which makes no sense.
